Maine Black Bear Monitoring Program And Photos

April 2, 2009

Each year the state of Maine, specifically the Maine Department of Inland Fisheries and Wildlife, conducts a bear monitoring program. In so doing, biologist go to selected areas of the state and find bear dens. They dig them out and examine mom and the little ones, record the data, etc.

As in other years, Paul Cyr tagged along and took photos. He presents these photos and some explanation on his own website, found here.
