On-site photographer, Jerry Jaynes, took this photo of the Shadow of the Bear "emerging from winter hibernation" on Saturday, February 26, 2011. The shadow, caused by Whiteside Mountain, is visible between 5:15 - 5:45 pm the last half of February into March. It is again visible the last half of October into early November. Great job Jerry!
