Watchful Mother Bear - a photo on Flickriver

            First time we've seen this mother bear at Silver Salmon Creek.  She had her first litter of cubs this January or February.  Here she's being a dutiful and watchful mom, keeping her eyes on the strange group of humans while her two cubs feed on grass.  Haven't seen Brown Bears feeding on the grass during salmon run - this little family did it quite often.  Mom was an excellent fisher, though, so she and the cubs won't be relying solely on grass to get them through the winter.  Don't think that would work out so well.  Lake Clark National Park, Alaska.
