A couple of readers wrote yesterday to ask about Little Bear's den. (See Jan. 3 post.) Maya sent this picture (taken by Doug Updike), showing its enclosure. It's an igloo, much like the ones available at pet stores, with snow packed on top and hay and pine branches lining the interior floor. Maya is on the left, and Jeff Brown, station manager at UC Berkeley's Sagehen Creek Field Station, is on the right. Little Bear is tucked inside and snoozing through the storm -- as I type this, wind and rain is raging in Northern California. Up to 10 feet of snow is predicted in the Sierra.
