This past week in the Kodiak National Wildlife Refuge, we watched a Kodiak Brown Bear climbing deftly over the rocks at the edge of the Uganik River in search of salmon for its next meal as we drifted by in our boat. He (I don’t know if this is a male or female) stopped mid stride to watch us pass. I love this image because of the goofy position of his left rear leg still resting on the rock behind him.. He held it there for several seconds before continuing on. It’s one of my favorites from that first outing a few hours after we arrived at Rohrer Bear Camp.
