Back to photos from August! I find it fascinating to watch the different techniques brown bears use to catch salmon. Some bears, particularly the younger ones with spend a lot of time running up and down the river. There guys are fun to watch and photograph! On the other hand (paw), it isn’t uncommon to see big old boars like this one patiently sitting on the bank waiting for the perfect moment to charge and pounce! Little wasted energy.

It is interesting how the bears on the Katmai Coast at the beginning of the Pink Salmon run start by eating the tail. I had just come from Southeast Alaska where the salmon run is earlier, and there the bears were already down to just eating the roe from females and throwing everything else back.
