## Resource

Thanks to trail cams and personal observations we concluded “This Week at Hilton Pond North” we’re hosting at least EIGHT American Black Bears on our forested 35-acre property! These big furry mammals are out and about day and night, as described in our latest “Deep Dive” podcast. Give a listen and learn something new about these amazing wild creatures; then take a look at our bear videos in photo essay #41 at https://www.hiltonpondnorth.org/twahpn-20260616.html that also includes info about recent bird banding and recaptures. Happy Nature Watching!
