I'd have to look to jolt my memory; I didn't even get so far as paying my deposit before bailing due to the virus. Now trying to weigh putting down non refundable deposits for a couple of trips autumn 2021....

I had hoped to see more Black bears myself, but only got a snapshot of a couple disappearing into the undergrowth --- however getting Grizzlies more than compensated for any disappointment.

With the last shot of the cub the viewer's eye is drawn to the bright white rocks which is what we do when a picture has a very bright area within the frame. Something to be aware of when out in the field.

Thanks Carson for pointing that out ---- the cub was about 75 metres across the river from my camera stand and it was difficult to get a shot without some of the stones intruding , however it might be possible to darken them in post edit so that they shouldn't distrract the eye from the cub itself---food for thought for the future !

Being Shown The Ropes --- Mother points out the tastier treats---salmon brains are very nutritious . In a large Salmon run with many fish the bears will go for the brains and eyes first [ unless, of course, it is a gravid female, in which case eggs are the best ! ] The fish skin is number 3 on the menu, so inevitably there is a huge amount of remains left to benefit the attendant scavengers. ISO 200.
