Brown Bear on a log
This Grizzly bear swam from the shore to this log in the middle of the river to get at the tasty morsels on the log
Who's there?
Checking that nothing is threatening its food stash on a log
Times running out
The tide was rising fast, and was about to isolate this brown bear on his tasty log. He turned around for more snarfing though!

Seconds
The Bald Eagle in the front has 2 fish in its talons! I think the one in the back has at least one

The bear was not looking at himself, just for the tasty bits in the rocks

Grizzly Reflection
Down on the waterfront, this brown bear was very intent on finding his gourmet breakfast. Allowed us to be very close to photograph him
Don't touch my food
We got so close to this Grizzly in the boat. He did not care, all he was interested in was the delicious food on the rocks, and under the rocks.
