Bears...Bears....Bears!!!

And lots and lots of cubs this year...

Already, there are several sets of twins...two sets of triplets...and a bunch of singles.

18 to be exact...although we have already lost one to the raging river...so we are back down to 17.

Cubs have a rough start...and we routinely lose 50% before they turn three...which is why the parks department doesn't assign numbers until they are emancipated.

It is great  to start and end the day with the bear-folk, again...and we are soooooooooooooooo excited about the number of littles seen!!!

Who has the distinguishing aberration of white claws making him easy to identify.

And hibernation has just ended. 

The salmon are slowly returning...


 and the gulls have returned...to divide the spoils when the bears start fishing.

...we call all the salmon "Reggie" and the gulls "Alice"...

Still missing Otis

...tears...

who will always be "KING".
