Check out all of the row coming from this chum salmon.

Look at the size of this brown bear bear! I see a lot of bears through out the course of a summer and get used to seeing large brown bears. However, every now and then one comes along and makes me a bit uncomfortable like this guy! Between the size and the look – wow! Katmai National Park, Alaska.

Home from a fantastic Katmai Bear Photo Tour! We saw so many bears chase down salmon – well more than 100, and it never gets old seeing a bear charging towards you as it pursues a salmon!

Here is a sow and cub captured during my Bear and Whale trip. I am now in Kodiak. In the morning I begin my final Alaska Photo Tour of the year as I head to the Katmai Coast for a week for lots more brown bear photography! I probably won’t share anything here for a week, but should have some fun stuff once I return! Update: I see this didn’t publish before I departed – I’m now back from Katmai with lots to share!
