Grizzlies Just Waiting or? 1 of 2

grizzly cubs grazing

A mother grizzly bear with first year cubs will not take her cubs into the water to wait for salmon to arrive. Rather she will be content to graze on the sedge grass and once the salmon are in the river and easier to catch she will fish. While she fishes the cubs wait close by on the bank until the fish are brought to them.

grizzly bears waiting

It is late August and a grizzly bear and cub in Knight Inlet’s Glendale River wait for the tide to rise and bring in another school of salmon. The salmon school in the bay and with higher water they move up the river to the spawning areas. We are in our viewing boat also waiting for the salmon and the excitement of watching grizzlies fish.

Bow Wave from an Orca

You know that this killer whales / orca is close when you realize my camera is a Pentax Optio Wpi 6MP and 3X Optical Zoom and does not have one of a “long lens”. Even better is the calf that is shadowing its mother.
