    Now that they've zoomed in some you can see a little fur at the bottom of the opening. Saw ears a few minutes ago.

    Cool.

    Reminded me of the time Rick Mercer went tagging black bears in their dens in Algonquin Park in Ontario.

    Well, I've learned today. Never knew a bear would den inside a tree. Neat!
