When I saw black grizzly bears three years ago, I was puzzled for I hadn’t realized that black was even an option for grizzlies. It is, but a somewhat uncommon one. When a black grizzly family was seen this week, it was only about three hundred metres from where the earlier family had been seen.
A family of black grizzly bears was foraging for kokanee salmon in a stream.
The sow eyed an intruder suspiciously.
She sent her cubs towards the woods.
When she stood to get a better look, she provided me with a calendar-ready picture.
Wow beautiful shots! How close were you?
Grace, distance varied, but for the last shot, she was only eight metres away.
Where did you see them, Alistair? 8 meters is pretty close. I know I wouldn’t have been brave enough, but you certainly got an amazing shot.
Birthe, they were seen at the north end of the Lake. Eight metres is close, but I was safe (as were the bears).
Amazing…..wow, what gorgeous shots.
Thankyou so much again for those wonderful pictures.
wow, amazing pictures as always
