A mother grizzly bear with cubs will come to the salmon pools with a different approach. She needs to be aware of what/who is in the area before she commits to entering the feeding zone. This grizzly and cubs use a log that bridges the lower end to the pool and provides a good view of the area. All is safe and she enters the water with her family.
It is mid morning on Johnstone Strait and we came upon a pod of what appeared to be orca resting. I am not sure that I would call this resting as most of the time seemed to have been spent playing. This pod of orca took more than an hour to move a hundred meters (yards). The adults would drift with the current while the young spy hopped, tail slapped and rolled on their backs. Fantastic viewing and I even saved on fuel.
