Black Bear, Anan Creek, Alaska…Image 2975

A black bear sits outside a small cave scratching an itch. I shot this photo from the photo blind that the US Forest Service maintains at the Anan Creek Bear Observatory platform near Wrangell, Alaska. This is one of the very few streams that supports a large population of both black and ...

Kayaker and Paddle Boarder, Lena Cove, Juneau, Alaska # 2974
