In the early hours of this morning, a small black bear visited a spawning creek. It was certainly not the first bear to visit, only the first I had seen. It tried fishing, but I did not see it catch anything before wandering off.
The black bear pauses while trying to catch fish in the creek. During dips in the water, it hasn’t wetted a small portion of its back, which looks lighter brown.
It tried to capture the redfish Kokanee, but apparently failed.
Little bear, you need to practice your fishing prowess a bit more!!
Thanks for getting up early, and out there, sharing life with our wild neighbours.
