And checking in with the bears (and bear-folk) while sipping coffee, this morning.
Gully's response to a sub-adult who snatched his spot on the lip of the falls.
"Hey..you're in my spot!!!"
"Ahhh...that's better."
Seeing a lot of pirating and generally grumbling/bad tempers flaring as the salmon continue to be few...although many of the older bears are better at fishing and getting larger by the day...quite a few of the sub-adults and nursing mothers are thin...you can see ribs...and while the cubs nurse, the sows are eating mouthsful of grass.
Some of the yearlings are becoming quite resourceful.
Sad news, recently, as we watched horrified as another cub (...one of 26's cubs...) was caught up in the swift current of the river. This makes two lost to the river. This one was particularly gruesome as the river washed it against a large boar who killed it instantly on the live cam.
The cub left (...now called Peanut...) looks tiny and a bit lost.
Walker- 151 In a Salmon Coma.
And the comforting sight of 747 (Colbert a.k.a Bear Force One) and his fishing buddy Otis who is in The Office.
And all is right with the world....
