Bears in Streams

The rain finally broke for a few hours today so a friend and I hopped in the car and headed out the road to look for bears. This is the perfect season to see them because of the spawning salmon. We saw several black bear but were most interested in this small one and a larger one competing for the same stream. The most exciting moment was when the large one (estimated at 200 pounds) chased the smaller one away from the stream. In all, we saw 5 bears tonight. I am ready to go searching for a brown bear now. - www.wyattjourney.com

Didn't your mother teach you any better than to chase bears? When do we see the infamous polar bears of Alaska?

Black Bears from a safe walkway or car, OK; brown bears are a No-No, son, unless you are at Pack Creek viewing station or Katmai, maybe. Really, this is a fine shot, tho the subject seems a bit grumpy. You do do nice work.
