July bears

Often an indication of stress, yawning is something bears do quite often. This bear must have just genuinely been tired, as he had no competition near this fishing hole to stress him out.



Investigating the sounds of a splashing salmon upcreek..



Standing upright isn't a display of dominance or aggression. More often than not, standing upright simply provides an opportunity to gather more information via their eyes, nose, and ears.


A large, and fairly old male scoping out the spawning chum in the shallows.


A river otter plotting his route back into the trees from the shoreline. These otters run from the forest to the ocean to pick off a flounder in the saltwater. Sometimes they'll feast on the flounder on the beach, and other times they'll run all the way back to the forest dragging the large, flat fish.
