This is when it gets a little tense I shot this with my 300mm. Not sure if it is curiosity driven or if it is a wee bit territorial, either way she stays for a few minutes then wanders off back to hunting fish or chasing off other bears. Every inch of me is alive, it leaves me breathless.
She will drag her paw through the water hoping that a salmon will react, jump, then the chase is on.
I was over the moon when I saw SWR with 3 cubs this year, what an unexpected treat to see her so healthy with a family. I'm guessig two male and a female cubs but who knows.
