First Bear

The standard joke aboard has been that there are more elephants in Canada than bears. We are currently in Nimmo Bay (yes I am way behind on posts as usual). At any rate, Nimmo Bay Resort is something very special so I will be doing a full post on it.

This morning we were out bear hunting at the end of Mackenzie Inlet and came across this gal who was foraging for fish in the stream at the end of the bay.

Good sign as this suggests there must be some salmon starting to show as well. Anyway, we watched her for about 40 minutes. She would come down into the stream and fish, take a good look at us and then take her catch back in to the woods. Then she would reappear and fish some more. You can clearly see she knew we were there and she was wary.

It was wonderful to sit and watch her. Unfortunately, my 150-600 mm lens did not arrive in time to bring it with me so I had to crop an image taken with my 18-200 mm lens.
