Today, just outside Ely, a camera was installed in den where a black bear named Lily is currently hibernating. That camera will provide pictures and video that people can watch online.
Lily is expected to give birth to a set of cubs in about a week or so, and the hope is that the world will be able to watch it happen in real time.
MPR's Cathy Wurzer spoke with Doug Hajicek, the wildlife film producer who is setting up the camera.
