Nature Notes From Crater Lake
Volume 1, No. 2, August 1928
Welcome Home!
By Earl U. Homuth
Jemima, who had been mourned by all
because she had failed to reappear in her old haunts, is with us again,
and everyone at headquarters is cheerful and happy once more. She has
added two cubs to our bear population.
She first appeared on the evening of
July 29th and came over to the cook-house alone, the cubs remaining
beyond the nearby stream. On the following evening the cubs were
formally introduced to the cook, and now the family will undoubtedly be
regular evening visitors.
L. Wynd reports the bears living on
grubs found in dead timbers on the north side of the lake. The bark is
being torn from dead trees and logs. Also deer are reported as
especially plentiful and in excellent condition. They are in beautiful
velvet. They were observed in groups on Grouse Hill.
