07 October 2007


Today was a little less chaotic than yesterday but we still had good viewing. In the morning guests in Gillian's car saw a bear on the river and then in the afternoon each of our car saw a bear.

Alan and Caroline, who were with me, had a great view of a black bear, probably a two-year-old, with a salmon in his mouth. He stood and looked at us for a while before running away.

As we returned to the ranch we also had a great sighting of a mum with two cubs. Although it was almost dark we watched through binoculars as all three swam across the wide river.

Meanwhile Jakob, our wildlife photographer friend, was on the trail of Apple, the bear we had seen a number of times at the head of the river. He found her and took this great shot of her resting after a large meal.
