When Bears Get Grumpy
(This post originally published in October 2010) Reaching back into the archives, I found these images that tell a really neat story. These images were taken in September 2004 during my first visit to Hallo Bay Wilderness Camp (Alaska), where I spent a week in the camp and photographed beautiful brown bears (coastal grizzlies) everyday.

Fun Friday: Hyperphagia Revisited
(This post originally published in September 2010) You may be asking, “What is Hyperphagia?”. Well, this is a technical term that is used to describe the feeding frenzy of bears as they prepare for hibernation.

Fun Friday: Busted!
Today’s Fun Friday post comes from the shoreline along the Endicott Arm, in Alaska, during a 10-day boat trip in 2006. As we cruised the Endicott Arm, on our way to the Dawes Glacier, we saw several Black Bears (Ursus americanus) as they foraged along the shoreline. At one point, we came upon a sow […]

Fresh Fish for Dinner
Today I’m featuring one of Hallo Bay’s Brown Bears (Ursus arctos), with some “catches-of-the day”. When I was there in early September, there were both pink salmon and silver salmon moving into the creek, so the bears had a delightful choice for dinner! All of the salmon in these images are pinkies (sometimes also called […]
