One of two yearling grizzlies whose mom just put them
out on their own. They were running around in the tall grass, scared and
looking around for larger grizzlies. Here are two photos of the two greeting each other.
The Water Spray - I do like how the water droplets catch the light
Take Out Meal - A grizzly carries its salmon catch at the top of Brooks Falls.
Affectionate Stare - A grizzly affectionately
stares at his mate while she fishes for salmon in Brooks River, Katmai
National Park.
Missed Salmon - A grizzly dives after salmon
that fly through the air trying to escape the jaws and claws of its
natural predator in Brooks River, Katmai National Park.
