Fun Friday: “Alaskan Water Bed”
This image certainly changes the meaning of a “water bed”! This image was taken along Clint’s Creek (Hallo Bay Bear Camp, located within Katmai National Park, Alaska) as this bear took an apparently much-needed nap, after a successful fishing endeavor: Hyperphagia is the term scientists use for describing the behavior that bears go through, […]

Chasing Fish
One of the most exciting things to watch when viewing the Alaska Brown Bear (Ursus arctos) in the early fall, is to watch them chase the incoming salmon. As the salmon emerge from the ocean and make their way up the streams and creeks to their home spawning grounds, the brown bears are waiting. As […]

Young Brown Bears Playing in the Surf
When Brown Bear (Ursus arctos) cubs reach the age of 2-3, they are displaced by their mom, to live on their own. When the juvenile bears are displaced, they tend to act quite lonely and often seek out the companionship of another young bear. This can be a sibling that has also been displaced, or […]

Fun Friday: Blurry-Eyed
While looking through my images late last night, I ran across this image taken in 2004 with my first digital camera (Canon 10D) and decided to post it as my “Fun Friday” image today: Choosing this image was not coincidental, I have just reserved a spot at the camp for next year, for […]
