Wet bear

 

The kokanee are spawning in local creeks. Bears come to feast upon them. Locals and tourists come to delight in both.

There is a family of black bears with two cubs working a spawning channel. However, getting a good picture through the intervening brush and trees was difficult. The best I managed yestermorn was a portrait of the sow.

A black bear sow lifts her head from the water after failing to catch the fish she was after.

    “Huh — it’s that guy again with the black thing stuck to his face — probably thinks he looks like a bear — I guess I’ll humor him — this time”
