Surrounded by salmon heading upstream to spawn, a three-year old Kodiak Bear Cub splashes through the shallow waters of the Uganik River in Kodiak, Alaska, hoping to snag one of the fish. I’ve been looking at my images from my fall trip to Kodiak in 2023 and I’m excited to be heading back there in just a month. There’s something about the experience in Kodiak that is so incredibly special and the fall trip, with the bears focused on the salmon run, is doubly so.
I finally got to see them!!!’
