Black Bear, Steep Creek, Juneau, Alaska – Image 2681

As referenced in last week's photo, I took the photo of this black bear gingerly carrying a salmon out of Steep Creek in the exact same spot as the photograph of the great blue heron. I had watched the bears over the summer and had noticed they regulary moved through this section of stream. I ...

Great Blue Heron, Steep Creek, Mendenhall Recreation Area, Juneau, Alaska – Image 2680
