This photo is much harder to get than one of a grizzly bear. Although the sun does rise every morning it is often behind the layer of cloud that hangs over BC’s Knight Inlet. By mid-morning the clouds have burned off but it is past sunrise time. Actually while on the whale watching tours it is nice to have a little cloud cover as it is better for photos than the bright sun reflecting off the water.
A mother brings her second year cubs to the edge of the river by the viewing stands while another grizzly bears stands in the background. They all have the same concern and that is a larger male grizzly further down river. Fortunately at this time the larger male did not proceed up river which gave the others a chance to come and feed on the many salmon. Most guests want to see the big male grizzlies and they are a magnificent sight but they tend to keep other bears out of the viewing area.
