Phalaropes are the only shorebirds that regularly swim in deep water. Every year in late summer, migrating Wilson’s Phalaropes put on an amazing show as enormous flocks pass through our area. There they spin round and round in the nutrient-rich waters, creating whirlpools that stir up invertebrates that will fuel their migration to South America. The flocks of birds dart about as if following a choreographed programmed flight. And yes many of the “birders” that visit Grizzly Bear Lodge want pictures.
Grizzly Bear Watching
“Friends and family share don’t they mum?” might be a good caption for this photo. The young grizzly are often not the best at catching fish and rely on their mothers. Note the other grizzly bear eating in the background, the abundance of food in our viewing area means there are not many fights as they takes away from the eating time.
