2022—Bear Month

May seems to be Bear Month for me. During my recent week in Yellowstone National Park we saw and photographed Black Bears and Grizzlies. After dinner on our first day in the park, we encountered this Grizzly Bear in a field near Clearwater Springs. It ate grass but also foraged for earthworms, turning up clumps of grass and Bison droppings to uncover what appeared to be an enjoyable meal for the big bear. Today I’m flying to Kodiak, Alaska to spend two weeks photographing Kodiak Brown Bears. I’m excited to see what the next two weeks brings. I will not have cell or internet service for two weeks, so updates on my bear experiences in Alaska will have to wait until I get home at the end of the month.
