I love how similar a bear’s play is to a dog’s or even a cat’s. Loved it when she held the yellow egg and kicked it with her back feet. Very catlike. I think we’ve only seen each other once - from a very, very long distance. We just went our separate ways, and she moseyed along Wild Azalea Way to wherever it was she was going. I’m just so happy that she still loves this little mountain so much. It’s such a treat and an honor to get to watch her grow up. Sure hope she survive and thrives because you know she’d be a great, playful Mama Bear.
I know. I am, too. 😞 I wish Mama bears would keep their yearlings with them through another winter. Just not happening here with our local black bears. At least not yet. There is a brown bear community in one of the Nordic countries where the Mamas keep their cubs for much longer. Maybe they’re starting a trend. :-)
How great was this?!!! You have a star on your hands! Nothing like happy animals! Your filming makes us feel like we are right there with them! Thanks, Amy and Al!!!!!!! 💖🌈🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🐻🌈💖
@@FAIRVIEWCRITTERCAMS , No, thank you! We need some animal joy in our lives! My last pet died last year and I'm a lonely hurting mama!! Hopefully not too far off, I'll have another kitty! Thanks again, Amy! That Beanie is some cutie patootie!!!!! 💖🐻💖🐻💖🐻💖🐻💖🐻💖🐻💖
THIS IS ABSOLUTELY PRECIOUS!!!!! I hope you sent this to the Dodo - they'd be crazy not to show this sweet little one with her zoomies and bestest rubber duckies! Thank you SO much for sharing these videos with the world - you're bringing joy to everyone who watches.
Thank you so much!! When Beanie makes me smile like this, it feels like an ALL CAPS SMILE! 🤣 She is so adorable. And yes! Love The Dodo. They featured Mama & The Darryls (and the hammock) a couple years ago. It turned out so sweet.
Definitely getting hotter in the coming days, too. Yuck. Unfortunately, we’ve been without water up here for 4 days now. Ugh. A wicked lightning strike hit near our well and the well controller isn’t working anymore. I was planning to go down to clean and refresh the Rub-a-Dub-Tubs for the bears, but that will just have to wait until we get our well water running again to the house. Oh well - I don’t think the bears wil mind waiting a little longer. They like mud-baths, after all.
:-) Sweet little Beanie is now on her own. Unfortunately, black bear cubs only stay with their mothers for around 18 months. Late spring, mama bears initiate what’s called the “family break up”, where they send their yearlings on their way to fend for themselves. The mamas shun their cubs because they want to mate again and have more cubs over the winter. It’s almost always a sad time for the yearlings, at first. It’s sure sad for me, witnessing those first few weeks when they’re on their own. Some yearlings look despondent and lost, at first. But some of the yearlings retain their chipper, happy-go-lucky attitude. Beanie is sure one of those yearlings! Her Mama taught her well, too, so Beanie knows where all the good food is for foraging. She should do well. I can’t help but worry about all of them, though!
What a awesome portal to happiness my heart was so happy and that beautiful baby his world is perfect. Love to you all and thank you so much Amy. The soul needs you
I’m so glad you found the link and watched! I was thrilled that she had such a blast there. I see this yearling a *lot*. She’s one of Blossom’s “beans” - her cubs from last year. That’s why I call her Beanie. 🐻 🫘
What a feisty little cutie! She does the "boot scootin' boogie" just like dogs do when they feel frisky! She looks so young and small! I sure hope she and her siblings do ok! Thanks, Amy!!
@@texasgirl6000 I had always called it "spazzing" or spazzing out" but ya, nowadays, it's called "having the zoomies" = way too funny when any critter does it. I live w/my canine hoodlums3 and when I get home from work, before settling in and down - play time. My smallest one, the rescue Jack Russell mix does her "zoomies" every single night and never fails to lead me to laughter!

I have a mother racoon with 3 babies (born in March) that live in the woods next to my house. We set up a kids pool for them and they play like this and roll around jumping and playing in the back yard! Thank you for sharing this!🏖😎
Oh, that’s precious!!! Love the little ones. When we purchased the adjacent 20 acres (to keep it from being developed) I knew there was supposed to be a streamhead located somewhere on the property. So, when we were cutting in walking trails on the land, I had our workers cut a couple holes in the ground to see if any water would well up. And sure enough it did! I was thrilled. All the different forms of wildlife really enjoy the water. I get to see all sorts of wonderful migrating songbirds I don’t normally get to see near the house (scarlet tanager, black-hooded warbler, etc.) Even barred owls enjoy taking birdbaths in the little drinking hole: ua-cam.com/video/H09xxPG6OH4/v-deo.html Below the drinking hole is a small pond liner I put in to keep the water from spilling down the steep ravine. It was almost instantly home to all sorts of critters. Frogs and lizards and such, which of course pleases all the other critters, raccoons especially. Sometimes the raccoons have themselves pool parties down there! No babies in this video, but it’s still pretty sweet. ua-cam.com/video/3Tew4eHPviY/v-deo.html
That is one of the cutest things I've ever seen all animals love toys and they all do that on their back and scratch them with their back Paws it's so funny
I love how bears at play resemble so many of the other animals in our lives - like cats and dogs - even horses. Beanie exhibited play-characteristics of all three animals during this particular tub visit. I loved her “galloping” sounds. 😁 🐎
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🤣Oh my goodness. Is there a Bear Olympics? She would get the gold with all that running and jumping. She really loves that rubber duckie 😍 I hope you have more on hand? Thank you for caring so much for all our wildlife and while most of us don't get to see how beautiful they all are, you provide us with the Best footage ever! ❤️
Laugh I did!! Poor little thing must get bored & lonely sometimes without her siblings. Thank you for making the bears & us happy, Amy! P.S. I like the way you keep the visuals & sounds of your videos as natural as possible. That said, I'm sure we'd enjoy some of your performance videos!
@@FAIRVIEWCRITTERCAMS this teen bear enjoy with life! They're so intelligent ... Animals aren't so differents from us... They have different personnality, characters, émotions etc... I understand you love them, they're your neighbors👍
Our bears regularly play with the toys we provide for them but so far this year they don't choose to go in the tub provided. It must be Amy's charm that gets her bears in the tub.
I’m sure they’ll take the leap eventually. And once they figure it out, you’ll probably have to pry the bears out of the tubs. They won’t want to leave. 🛀
Wow, that was just delightful!! Aren't you glad you put those pools in for the bears? This bear was playing and having the zoomies too!!! I was laughing the whole time!! TFS!!
🐻 BEAR ZOOMIES!!!!🐻 They’re the next best thing to sliced bread. OK, Bear Zoomies are actually waaaay better than sliced bread, but I don’t want the bread to feel bad. 🙄
😘 Isn’t she the cutest? I adore her. I’m up to Rubber Ducky #3. I had to retire Rubber Ducky #1 when Ernie loved on it a little too much. Both Rubber Duckies #2 & #3 are similarly compromised but they’re still holding their own. These don’t cost too much, but they do add up. (And don’t get me started on batteries. 🙄) Unfortunately, I do tend to lose too many Boomer Balls to overly-exuberant bears - and those things are expensive. Dang. I mentioned in a comment above that I lost only 2 of those balls, but i had forgotten I’ve actually lost 3 of them now. I was super bummed when I lost the most recent purchase - a wonderful larger boomer ball that Sadie’s cubs loved playing with: ua-cam.com/video/zcwKE31Aqp8/v-deo.html I do have a donation link on my channel (main page) and at the end of my recent videos but most people don’t watch videos to the end. You know how it is. Like how only some people are old-school and read liner notes. 🤣 Pretty sure the donation link is: paypal.me/FairviewCritterCams So nice to see you here again!
Thanks for watching! It makes me so happy that so many of my favorite bear-characters returned this year and remembered the tub. They need these moments to play or relax in-between all that serious foraging for sustenance. I don’t know if you saw this other video already, but it presents the other end of the tub spectrum. Totally relaxed. Here’s Ernie, our gentle giant bear, just chilling out in the tub. ZEN BEAR: ua-cam.com/video/tCie2N8saSs/v-deo.html Ernie was actually the first bear to discover the rubber ducky that I left in the tub last year. He loved on that ducky so sweetly, I just had to name him after Ernie from Sesame Street (who sang the “Rubber Ducky” song.) Both Ernies have pretty broad heads, so the name kinda fits. 😁 Here’s the playlist featuring Ernie with his Rubber Ducky (and without), in case you’d like to watch any more: ua-cam.com/play/PL4RMqOxO-6DVHFTKt8agsQrRJ8dqcDUOe.html
Haha! Amy...that's hilarious! I'm so glad (so are the bears), you got a new rubber ducky. Yoohoo!!! I love how she perfected her about face spin, in the big tub...without the slip'nslide (look out I'm going under) affect. This bear is out for a fun time in the park! It's great you can identify who's who, awesome! You guys are keeping up the trails, wonderfully. Thanks for sharing Amy. Stay safe. 🕊
Thank you!! Gosh, this footage just made my year. She’s so precious, isn’t she? I do work really hard to be able to identify the bears. It’s amazing how dramatically their appearance can change as they grow, too, which makes it all the more difficult. - Like little scruffy Sadie last year as a sub-adult compared to the healthy, rich/full-black-haired Sadie as a first-time mom this year. From far off in the videos you’d think they were two different bears, but they weren’t. If I can get close enough in the videos to see the fur around her eyes, I can see Sadie’s signature “Panda Eyes.” That’s how I knew who the mama was. I had a little celebration when I figured out who that mama was! 🤣 Little things like this make me very very happy. I’m easily amused. 🙄 I spend a ridiculous amount of time slowing down footage, zooming in, and trying to locate unique identifying features of the bears who seem to have taken to our little mountain - mostly the bears that I am likely to see again in the near future, as well as the following year. Sometimes it’s a minute detail in the color curve around the mouth which delineates the brown snout from the black fur farther back on the head. Usually I can find something like that to help. Sometimes the identities of the bears are obvious, and easy for me to discern, even from a distance. Like Ernie, for example. (🤎 🐻) When in doubt, I can usually find other, subtler identifying features, like a small “beauty-spot” somewhere on the face, or a large scar that promises to be a permanent mark. Even certain patterns in the swirl of a bear’s fur, or the bear’s gait can help differentiate one from another. Learning who the bears are really does bring me joy. It feels like a family homecoming when these familiar personalities return each spring after a hard winter. Too bad I can’t say to the young ones, “My! How you’ve grown!” 🥰 🤎 🐻
@@FAIRVIEWCRITTERCAMS You done good! HAHA 😉 How is your Mom? I hope she's well.. I'm in awe of your exuberance and dedication Amy! These fury critters, (+ views of your beautiful garden/landscape), combined with your finesse...brings great joy! 💖 ☑ 💚 Stay safe Amy. 🕊
OMGosh this tickles SOOOO very much that I can bearly stand it! 🤣🥰 You providing the tubs and toys for the bears gives them added fun into their lives AND your cams give us endless heartsmiles as we watch them totally enjoy themselves. Awesome!! TYSM for your continual too-happy videos!!! In these times of uncertainty and way too many horrific things going on in our human world, to see these critters living life in the moment AND having a blast - is priceless! ~I live in these mtns as well but not rurally so... I totally miss living in the boonies and hope to do so again one day... Your videos let me see what is going on, deeper into the woods and hills that I can no longer see right now... Thanks Amy! ~~Happy Sunday everyone! 👋🤠👍
Oh! I’m so glad you loved this, too. I hope you can find your place deeper in the mountains someday soon! It’s funny, when Al and I were moving to WNC from the Washington, DC area, our real estate agent showed us some homes in regular old neighborhoods that looked like the neighborhood we’d be moving from. As nice as those homes were, we practically felt allergic to the idea of moving close to town like that, and having neighbors so close. As soon as we visited the first home farther out, we knew that’s what we truly wanted. (And the first house we visited that was at a higher elevation let me know that whatever house we chose just had to be high up. Of course that means access can be a little dicey in winte but it’s totally been worth the hassle.) The critters aren’t going anywhere. They’ll be waiting for you whenever you’re able to make your move! 🐻
Super video!! Wouldn’t it be great if we could hear this Beans thoughts?! What an imagination she must have! “Run! Here he comes! Haha! Time-out! Olly olly oxen free! “ I pictured her imagining the rubber ducky was nibbling on her toes , whenever she dove out of the tub with speed! Thank you for this video Amy! My “ this weeks favorite”! ( I have so many of them ;). Stay cool! It’s gettin’ hot out there.
Thank you for watching and commenting! I’m so glad you enjoyed the video. Wasn’t she precious!!?? I LOVE Beanie’s energy so much. Beanie has had some epic play-sessions on our property - throughout spring and summer. I also loved this one session where she totally threw herself on a shrub. It was hilarious. You might enjoy seeing her in this video, too? I sure did!: HAPPY HAPPY BEANIE BEAR JUMPS ON A SHRUB ua-cam.com/video/Y837eF35wr8/v-deo.html
Wow that is amazing footage! Soooo sweet, the little teddybear sure loves the rubber duckies! And these cute teddybear ears... cuteness overload! Such a beautiful bear! I always find it sad when Mama Bear kicks out her little ones to have more little teddies. They are barely just over a year old when this happens, like this little one. But I'm glad to see she is doing just fine.
I just LOVE Bear Zoomies!!!! I also love how bears-at-play remind us so much of cats and dogs and horses at play. (I particularly enjoyed all those “galloping” sounds Beanie kept making while she tore around the tubs.🐎 🐻 🤣 )
♥️ YES!! And like our doggies, too. They get into similar silly-zoomies. Incidentally, I put out loads of catnip earlier this year, hoping the bobcats would take an interest in it. I know other big cats have shown interest before, so figured it was worth a try. But just not. Not “our” bobcats. They ignored the catnip completely. The coyotes took an interest, though! 😹
So adorable! She is such a beauty😍 Thank you for offering her the toys & tubs to cool off & play in! And thank you so much for sharing your beautiful videos. Bless her❤
Thank you! She’s been back to the tub several times since this happy day. Most of the visits she did at least a little playing. Happy-go-lucky is her style. 😁
Isn’t that little bear precious? I hope she survives and thrives and sticks around in the general vicinity so we might get to see her play in future years. 🐻
Aren’t they grand!? I love how bears can remind us of pets and companion animals at play - from cat behaviors to dog to horse. (Love all the galloping sounds in this video.)
OK, Amy, ‘fess up! What are you putting in the water or in Rubber Ducky? Except for jumping in and out of the water, beanie is exhibiting exactly the behavior of my cats when they play with their catnip sock! 😹😹😹
I KNOW!!! I just loved how she fell to the ground, held onto the yellow egg and kicked it with her feet - just like a kitty. Bears are so much like dogs, too, in the way they play and shake things in their mouths. And of course Beanie also sounded a lot like a galloping horse, when she tore around the tub by the cameras. I wish she could bottle up some of that energy and share it with us. I’m grateful for these videos, though - they’re the next best thing to Beanie’s elixir. 🤎 🐻
I happened upon this video again one year later...and Miss Beanie still makes me laugh so hard watching her have such a great time with her rubber duckie friends. And oh boy do I feel her annoyance with these darn winged devil serpents (aka the murder gnats, murder bees, and murder bugs of East Tennessee). This time of year, I can't take two steps outside without something biting me or flying in my ear or buzzing around my eyeballs...then I commence to beating the living daylights out of myself trying to kill the bugs. It's a vicious cycle. LOL

@@FAIRVIEWCRITTERCAMS Ya lo encontré. He buscado en el Vídeo y encontré la traducción. Gracias por tus palabras. Me asombra que en Norte América, pueda la vida silvestre ser respetada por muchos humanos.Sé que también existe la caza y los cazadores ilegales también. Pero en España,es impensable que las especies silvestres puedan estar cerca de poblaciones de humanos,serian abatidos por las policías. Ocurre con frecuencia. Cuando no tienen alimento,ni agua,se acercan a los pueblos y ciudades,y ante el aviso ciudadano,llega la policía y los mata.Lo han hecho con Jabalíes,Corzos,Lobos,Osos. Y a los conejos también los matan cuando se meten en Viñas y huertas. Si cazan a Lobos,Zorros,Linces,es natural que los Conejos no tengan Depredadores.Es la Ley de la Naturaleza.Se regula ella sola,si sus habitantes no son cazados por humanos. Aquí un constructor,puede cortar Árboles aún teniendo Nidos de Aves en época de Reproducción y Cría.No hay Leyes que proteja Nidos en pueblos y Ciudades. Por eso estoy Suscrita a tu canal,al de P.Conley,y otros más. Me produce mucha Paz. Ahora mismo,en mi zona, La Rioja,Norte de España ,las Autoridades quieren ampliar en más hectáreas ,un bosque protegido,y están los cazadores y ganaderos haciendo protestas con graves amenazas a las especies de la zona,y con insultos al Gobierno. Hace 12 años,en Galicia pasó igual.Los cazadores salieron varias noches y cazaron 300 zorros y jabalíes, y las orejas y colas de esos animalitos fueron TIRADAS delante de la puerta de una persona que estaba a FAVOR de ampliar a categoría de Parque Nacional,esa zona de montaña y bosques. Y los incendios que ocurren en España y Portugal,el 90%, dicen los Investigadores,son Provocados. Por intereses inmobiliarios,ganadero, y cazadores. Es tremendo lo mal que lo pasamos personas que estamos sensibilizados con la idea de que el Planeta es de todos.Nadie tiene mas derechos que nadie. Y nuestra especie ha sobre pasado todos los Limites Poblacional. Ya queda poco bosque,poca agua potable,y poco Oxígeno. Hemos Explotado el Planeta,y vamos a pagar nuestra estupidez. Disculpa el sermón, pero NECESITABA decir lo que Siento. Y además, soy Vegana,y tengo doble sufrimiento. Gracias,Cuidaros todos mucho.Gracias por estar AHÍ.

@@FAIRVIEWCRITTERCAMS Thank you for sharing the vids! 😎
Look at you ♡♡ having so much fun getting in your daily exercise beautiful love your cams ♡♡ thank you for the smiles..
She’s so precious!
Who knew bears were so playful? So very enjoyable. Thank you ❤️
They are always a joy to watch at play! I feel lucky to “witness” their play sessions via my trail cameras. Such a treat!
That is one of the cutest things I've ever seen all animals love toys and they all do that on their back and scratch them with their back Paws it's so funny
I love how bears at play resemble so many of the other animals in our lives - like cats and dogs - even horses. Beanie exhibited play-characteristics of all three animals during this particular tub visit. I loved her “galloping” sounds. 😁 🐎
❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️🤣Oh my goodness. Is there a Bear Olympics? She would get the gold with all that running and jumping. She really loves that rubber duckie 😍
I hope you have more on hand?
Thank you for caring so much for all our wildlife and while most of us don't get to see how beautiful they all are, you provide us with the Best footage ever!
❤️
Awwww! Thank you!
And I love that - Bear Olympics!
I wish we could give Beanie a gold medal. 🥰 🏅 🐻
@@FAIRVIEWCRITTERCAMS She deserves it..lol..made me tired just from watching and stomach hurt from laughing. ❤️🤣
Laugh I did!! Poor little thing must get bored & lonely sometimes without her siblings. Thank you for making the bears & us happy, Amy! P.S. I like the way you keep the visuals & sounds of your videos as natural as possible. That said, I'm sure we'd enjoy some of your performance videos!
That is one clean and happy little bear.
Oh my gosh, she is adorable!
🥰 🐻
I absolutely love this little bear 🐻 video.
🇬🇧
Now this is what life is all about..... Living for the fun of it
Happy...happy bear!! 😅👍🦋
Isn’t she precious? Love her so much.
@@FAIRVIEWCRITTERCAMS this teen bear enjoy with life!
They're so intelligent ...
Animals aren't so differents from us...
They have different personnality, characters, émotions etc...
I understand you love them, they're your neighbors👍
Замечательные кадры! Медвежонок резвится, ему предоставлены игрушки и вода и он с такой радостью всем забавляется точно домашний питомец.
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣 So funny! And a tree climb at the end! 😂 My bears refuse to play with the rubber duck, bobbin and Jolly ball! They’re way too serious! 😆
Our bears regularly play with the toys we provide for them but so far this year they don't choose to go in the tub provided. It must be Amy's charm that gets her bears in the tub.
@@Elsie1935 It must be! Mine aren’t using the tubs either this year!
I’m sure they’ll take the leap eventually. And once they figure it out, you’ll probably have to pry the bears out of the tubs. They won’t want to leave. 🛀
Wow, that was just delightful!! Aren't you glad you put those pools in for the bears? This bear was playing and having the zoomies too!!! I was laughing the whole time!! TFS!!
🐻 BEAR ZOOMIES!!!!🐻
They’re the next best thing to sliced bread.
OK, Bear Zoomies are actually waaaay better than sliced bread, but I don’t want the bread to feel bad. 🙄
What was with that freak-out at 2:18? LOLZ!!! This was such a good one. I love that little dorkus.
OMGoodness - that part cracked me up, too!
I think she just slipped in the tub and it made her extra hyper. 🤣
Hilarious and cute!❤
how many of those ducks do you go through Amy? Do we need to start a Duck Fund? That was shear joy to watch! So playful.
😘 Isn’t she the cutest? I adore her.
I’m up to Rubber Ducky #3.
I had to retire Rubber Ducky #1 when Ernie loved on it a little too much. Both Rubber Duckies #2 & #3 are similarly compromised but they’re still holding their own. These don’t cost too much, but they do add up. (And don’t get me started on batteries. 🙄)
Unfortunately, I do tend to lose too many Boomer Balls to overly-exuberant bears - and those things are expensive. Dang. I mentioned in a comment above that I lost only 2 of those balls, but i had forgotten I’ve actually lost 3 of them now. I was super bummed when I lost the most recent purchase - a wonderful larger boomer ball that Sadie’s cubs loved playing with:

I do have a donation link on my channel (main page) and at the end of my recent videos but most people don’t watch videos to the end. You know how it is. Like how only some people are old-school and read liner notes. 🤣
Pretty sure the donation link is: paypal.me/FairviewCritterCams
So nice to see you here again!
What a happy little girl 😍😍😍
Thanks for the amazing video! Always happy to see a happy bear with rubber duckie! I am sure your local bears all want to have that rubber duckie!!
Thanks for watching!
It makes me so happy that so many of my favorite bear-characters returned this year and remembered the tub. They need these moments to play or relax in-between all that serious foraging for sustenance.
I don’t know if you saw this other video already, but it presents the other end of the tub spectrum. Totally relaxed. Here’s Ernie, our gentle giant bear, just chilling out in the tub.
ZEN BEAR: ua-cam.com/video/tCie2N8saSs/v-deo.html
Ernie was actually the first bear to discover the rubber ducky that I left in the tub last year. He loved on that ducky so sweetly, I just had to name him after Ernie from Sesame Street (who sang the “Rubber Ducky” song.) Both Ernies have pretty broad heads, so the name kinda fits. 😁
Here’s the playlist featuring Ernie with his Rubber Ducky (and without), in case you’d like to watch any more: ua-cam.com/play/PL4RMqOxO-6DVHFTKt8agsQrRJ8dqcDUOe.html
Haha! Amy...that's hilarious! I'm so glad (so are the bears), you got a new rubber ducky. Yoohoo!!! I love how she perfected her about face spin, in the big tub...without the slip'nslide (look out I'm going under) affect. This bear is out for a fun time in the park! It's great you can identify who's who, awesome! You guys are keeping up the trails, wonderfully. Thanks for sharing Amy. Stay safe. 🕊
Thank you!! Gosh, this footage just made my year. She’s so precious, isn’t she?
I do work really hard to be able to identify the bears. It’s amazing how dramatically their appearance can change as they grow, too, which makes it all the more difficult. - Like little scruffy Sadie last year as a sub-adult compared to the healthy, rich/full-black-haired Sadie as a first-time mom this year. From far off in the videos you’d think they were two different bears, but they weren’t. If I can get close enough in the videos to see the fur around her eyes, I can see Sadie’s signature “Panda Eyes.” That’s how I knew who the mama was. I had a little celebration when I figured out who that mama was! 🤣 Little things like this make me very very happy. I’m easily amused. 🙄
I spend a ridiculous amount of time slowing down footage, zooming in, and trying to locate unique identifying features of the bears who seem to have taken to our little mountain - mostly the bears that I am likely to see again in the near future, as well as the following year. Sometimes it’s a minute detail in the color curve around the mouth which delineates the brown snout from the black fur farther back on the head. Usually I can find something like that to help. Sometimes the identities of the bears are obvious, and easy for me to discern, even from a distance. Like Ernie, for example. (🤎 🐻) When in doubt, I can usually find other, subtler identifying features, like a small “beauty-spot” somewhere on the face, or a large scar that promises to be a permanent mark. Even certain patterns in the swirl of a bear’s fur, or the bear’s gait can help differentiate one from another. Learning who the bears are really does bring me joy. It feels like a family homecoming when these familiar personalities return each spring after a hard winter. Too bad I can’t say to the young ones, “My! How you’ve grown!” 🥰 🤎 🐻
@@FAIRVIEWCRITTERCAMS You done good! HAHA 😉 How is your Mom? I hope she's well.. I'm in awe of your exuberance and dedication Amy! These fury critters, (+ views of your beautiful garden/landscape), combined with your finesse...brings great joy! 💖 ☑ 💚 Stay safe Amy. 🕊
She is absolutely precious ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Ohh this made my husband and me laugh so hard !!!!!!!!!1 loved every min. Thank you so much for sharing your AMAZING videos !!!!!!!!!!!!
Yay!! I’m so glad!!
I did a lot of smiling and laughing out loud while working on this video, too. How could I not? Beanie is the bomb.
Melts my heart...😊💜
Frisky lovely bear!
P.S.A. - Do *NOT* bring rubber ducks or balls when camping or hiking in bear country. [Start making signs Amy!!! ;-) ]
🤣
I love this so much. Thank you for sharing with us
Thank you!!!!what fun
Merci Amy pour cette magnifique video💙💚🙋♀️🇨🇵
Thank you!
OMGosh this tickles SOOOO very much that I can bearly stand it! 🤣🥰 You providing the tubs and toys for the bears gives them added fun into their lives AND your cams give us endless heartsmiles as we watch them totally enjoy themselves. Awesome!! TYSM for your continual too-happy videos!!! In these times of uncertainty and way too many horrific things going on in our human world, to see these critters living life in the moment AND having a blast - is priceless!
~I live in these mtns as well but not rurally so... I totally miss living in the boonies and hope to do so again one day... Your videos let me see what is going on, deeper into the woods and hills that I can no longer see right now... Thanks Amy!
~~Happy Sunday everyone! 👋🤠👍
Oh! I’m so glad you loved this, too.
I hope you can find your place deeper in the mountains someday soon! It’s funny, when Al and I were moving to WNC from the Washington, DC area, our real estate agent showed us some homes in regular old neighborhoods that looked like the neighborhood we’d be moving from. As nice as those homes were, we practically felt allergic to the idea of moving close to town like that, and having neighbors so close.
As soon as we visited the first home farther out, we knew that’s what we truly wanted. (And the first house we visited that was at a higher elevation let me know that whatever house we chose just had to be high up. Of course that means access can be a little dicey in winte but it’s totally been worth the hassle.)
The critters aren’t going anywhere. They’ll be waiting for you whenever you’re able to make your move! 🐻
P.S. - saw this vid. suggestion, & just couldn't 'bear' to watch it - "Hammocking in Bear Country - Backpacking Adventure" ......
Thank you Amy for adding 5:59 minutes of smiles to my day. 🌞🌻
Awwww - thank you! She certainly made 6 minutes of my day, too.
Fantastic and cute mate!
Love her!
Super video!! Wouldn’t it be great if we could hear this Beans thoughts?! What an imagination she must have! “Run! Here he comes! Haha! Time-out! Olly olly oxen free! “ I pictured her imagining the rubber ducky was nibbling on her toes , whenever she dove out of the tub with speed! Thank you for this video Amy! My “ this weeks favorite”! ( I have so many of them ;). Stay cool! It’s gettin’ hot out there.
That was the best video ever.♥️♥️♥️ Thanks
Thank you! I was thrilled about capturing this footage, naturally. She’s the best, most playful little girl yearling, ever. Love her!
So very precious! What a happy baby bear! "Rubber Ducky, you're the one."
Thank you for watching and commenting! I’m so glad you enjoyed the video.
Wasn’t she precious!!??
I LOVE Beanie’s energy so much.
Beanie has had some epic play-sessions on our property - throughout spring and summer. I also loved this one session where she totally threw herself on a shrub. It was hilarious. You might enjoy seeing her in this video, too? I sure did!:

Wow that is amazing footage! Soooo sweet, the little teddybear sure loves the rubber duckies! And these cute teddybear ears... cuteness overload! Such a beautiful bear!
I always find it sad when Mama Bear kicks out her little ones to have more little teddies. They are barely just over a year old when this happens, like this little one. But I'm glad to see she is doing just fine.
I know! It breaks my heart every time. Poor little yearlings feel so forlorn at first.
I love this one!!! How fast in agile. You deserve an award for nit only being a sweetheart to give bears fun, but this editing is on point!!!
Thank you so much!!
I really worked hard on this one. So glad it showed.
Bear Zoomies are best zoomies!
I just LOVE Bear Zoomies!!!!
I also love how bears-at-play remind us so much of cats and dogs and horses at play. (I particularly enjoyed all those “galloping” sounds Beanie kept making while she tore around the tubs.🐎 🐻 🤣 )
Beautiful!
Thanks for watching!
what a joy to watch
What a cheap price to pay for this many laughs.
This is so much fun! What a character she is. Thank you so much for sharing. ❤❤
Man does this make my heart happy! 💕💕💕
🥰 Me, too! 🐻 🤎
Cudne!🤗
OMG----she's got the zoomies!!!!! So adorable!
YES!!!!!
BEAR ZOOMIES!!!!!! Wheeeeeeeeeeee!!!
@@FAIRVIEWCRITTERCAMS I keep finding myself saying "this is my favorite video of yours," to EVERY video, but THIS!! Zoom! Zoom!
Beans reminds me of a kitty playing with catnip toys and tearing around the house and looking very silly, but happy 😊 This video is a lot of fun 🐈💓
♥️ YES!! And like our doggies, too. They get into similar silly-zoomies.
Incidentally, I put out loads of catnip earlier this year, hoping the bobcats would take an interest in it. I know other big cats have shown interest before, so figured it was worth a try. But just not. Not “our” bobcats. They ignored the catnip completely. The coyotes took an interest, though! 😹
So cute!!
So adorable! She is such a beauty😍 Thank you for offering her the toys & tubs to cool off & play in! And thank you so much for sharing your beautiful videos. Bless her❤
Thank you!
She’s been back to the tub several times since this happy day. Most of the visits she did at least a little playing. Happy-go-lucky is her style. 😁
Awwww!!!! This is so, so adorable and it's completely made my day - thank you for sharing your precious visitors with us, Amy.
🥰- thank you, Yvonne!

This is nothing but pure joy.
🥰 Isn’t she wonderful?
That little bear is having the time of his life playing in the water and with those toys. Priceless video.
Isn’t that little bear precious? I hope she survives and thrives and sticks around in the general vicinity so we might get to see her play in future years. 🐻
@@FAIRVIEWCRITTERCAMS She is sooo precious. I was blessed to find that video. I love bears and it made my day.
Adorable
Oh my gosh!! My heart cant take this. Just the sweetest video EVER
🥰 - I’m so glad you enjoyed watching her!!!
isn’t she precious?
Aww, Miss Beanie is just the cutest bear ever, such happy zoomies!
Isn't she!!??
Oh my bears actually behave in this way!
Aren’t they grand!?
I love how bears can remind us of pets and companion animals at play - from cat behaviors to dog to horse. (Love all the galloping sounds in this video.)
OK, Amy, ‘fess up! What are you putting in the water or in Rubber Ducky? Except for jumping in and out of the water, beanie is exhibiting exactly the behavior of my cats when they play with their catnip sock! 😹😹😹
I KNOW!!!
I just loved how she fell to the ground, held onto the yellow egg and kicked it with her feet - just like a kitty.
Bears are so much like dogs, too, in the way they play and shake things in their mouths.
And of course Beanie also sounded a lot like a galloping horse, when she tore around the tub by the cameras. I wish she could bottle up some of that energy and share it with us. I’m grateful for these videos, though - they’re the next best thing to Beanie’s elixir. 🤎 🐻
Nice.
Awwww what a cutie
🥰 - (Sorry I didn’t get to see your message until now! YT had filed it in the spam folder - for whatever reason. 🙄)
@@FAIRVIEWCRITTERCAMS oh that’s ok
I happened upon this video again one year later...and Miss Beanie still makes me laugh so hard watching her have such a great time with her rubber duckie friends. And oh boy do I feel her annoyance with these darn winged devil serpents (aka the murder gnats, murder bees, and murder bugs of East Tennessee). This time of year, I can't take two steps outside without something biting me or flying in my ear or buzzing around my eyeballs...then I commence to beating the living daylights out of myself trying to kill the bugs. It's a vicious cycle. LOL

Me asombra que en Norte América, pueda la vida silvestre ser respetada por muchos humanos.Sé que también existe la caza y los cazadores ilegales también.
Pero en España,es impensable que las especies silvestres puedan estar cerca de poblaciones de humanos,serian abatidos por las policías. Ocurre con frecuencia.
Cuando no tienen alimento,ni agua,se acercan a los pueblos y ciudades,y ante el aviso ciudadano,llega la policía y los mata.Lo han hecho con Jabalíes,Corzos,Lobos,Osos.
Y a los conejos también los matan cuando se meten en Viñas y huertas.
Si cazan a Lobos,Zorros,Linces,es natural que los Conejos no tengan Depredadores.Es la Ley de la Naturaleza.Se regula ella sola,si sus habitantes no son cazados por humanos.
Aquí un constructor,puede cortar Árboles aún teniendo Nidos de Aves en época de Reproducción y Cría.No hay Leyes que proteja Nidos en pueblos y Ciudades.
Por eso estoy Suscrita a tu canal,al de P.Conley,y otros más. Me produce mucha Paz.
Ahora mismo,en mi zona, La Rioja,Norte de España ,las Autoridades quieren ampliar en más hectáreas ,un bosque protegido,y están los cazadores y ganaderos haciendo protestas con graves amenazas a las especies de la zona,y con insultos al Gobierno.
Hace 12 años,en Galicia pasó igual.Los cazadores salieron varias noches y cazaron 300 zorros y jabalíes, y las orejas y colas de esos animalitos fueron TIRADAS delante de la puerta de una persona que estaba a FAVOR de ampliar a categoría de Parque Nacional,esa zona de montaña y bosques.
Y los incendios que ocurren en España y Portugal,el 90%, dicen los Investigadores,son Provocados.
Por intereses inmobiliarios,ganadero, y cazadores.
Es tremendo lo mal que lo pasamos personas que estamos sensibilizados con la idea de que el Planeta es de todos.Nadie tiene mas derechos que nadie.
Y nuestra especie ha sobre pasado todos los Limites Poblacional.
Ya queda poco bosque,poca agua potable,y poco Oxígeno. Hemos Explotado el Planeta,y vamos a pagar nuestra estupidez.
