We did not even get to Fish Creek before encountering our first bear, a large male grizzly:
Eventually he stopped and we drove by slowly, ready to close the window and zoom off if he did anything:
This shot is thru the driver's window and it was only then we realized we were being watched:
It was also lively at Fish Creek. Here was our first male grizzly:
Momma and the cubs came out nervously once the male was down the creek. Male grizzlies kill and eat cubs:
They did not feel safe:
Eventually there were three males up the creek, you can barely see a second in this picture. The third was just out of view:
You can see Momma and the cubs were keeping a close watch on the males, there was no playing today like on the 22nd:
It was a true experience to watch the bears here, especially today.
