Brooks Falls, Katmai National Park, Alaska
1st Grizz of the trip! Fishing for Salmon
I know you're down there!
Couple of bears doing some fishing.
1st close encounter with a Grizzly. Glad he stepped out on the path behind me and decided to go the other way! This shot was after shaking in my boots trying to hold the camera still. Whew!

Teaching the little ones how to grab dinner!
About as close as you'd like to be to a bear in his fishing hole!
Just passing through...
Mom and the two cubs again
I think I saw something move?
There's got to be one swimming by here soon?!
More and more Bears moving in...
There's one!
Grizzly showing off his prize!
Once a fish was nabbed at the frothy water of the falls, they retreat back to calmer water to feast.
I was amazed how these Grizzly's could stand in this rushing water amongst all the rocks.
Making his way up to the falls, but always a keen eye out for movement in the water.
Hey, I think I see my photographer buddy?
Yeah, that's him!
Check out the paws and claws on this guy..
A little battle over fishing spots. Mama bear, with her back to us, fought off the challenge rather well...
The fight continues in front of the little ones...
Diving off the rock for a chance at a salmon...
