The bears had left the den site on March 5th and returned for one day on March 8th. 
Not sure why they came back and only spent the day. Maybe the safety of the secluded den site.
The opportunity presented the best sequence of videos . Glad they came back !

Signs Of Early Spring



It appears the bears have left the den site sometime on the evening of March 5th. The last time stamp showing one cub was at 1:32 PM. I was hoping to capture a picture with all four bears, thatdid not happen.
The sow didn’t spend much time outside the den during the daylight hours, TC’s were programmed off during night hours to minimize disturbance.  One cub which I nicknamed: “Homemaker” (assumption on my part that it’s the same cub) was constantly outside the den during the day racking in leaves and ground matter into the den entrance.
One trail camera was left at the den site to confirm they family of bears have moved on.
