The gravelly shores of the Uganik River were littered with rotting Salmon carcasses and feathers from the thousands of gulls that stayed close to claim what was left after a Kodiak Brown Bear stripped the skin off (a nutritious delicacy) and munched a bit of flesh before casting it aside. The cubs were learning how to fish on their own and how to forage. The nutritious spring grasses were turning brown but sometimes a cub began to munch on what was left of the green grass and in this case, the cub tasted a large wing feather from a gull. It took a few chews before realizing it wasn’t edible.
