Siblings

Encountered these two cubs just off the Motor Nature Trail. They were eating hickory nuts that their mom was tossing down to them from 30 feet up in the tree. They sounded like B-Bs zipping through the forest leaves as they fell for the cubs to eat. I've never seen this before. Usually, they all go up the tree at the same time. This mother bear had a different system, it seems.
