Grizzly Bear

What a sight it was, watching a beautiful bear walking along the river, bottom of the valley. Searching for food and being that time of the season, searching for a mate. They are by far the top-of-the-food-chain predators, but much of what they eat are the likes of berries, fruit, leaves and roots. Watched this bear for half and hour digging and finding food. Darkness was moving in, it was time for me to leave the sight of this impressive solitary animal.

Until next moment,

Red-winged Blackbird

The sun was about to set behind the mountains, producing beautiful late warm light. There about 15 meters from me was a female Red-winged Blackbird, perched and calling out. I squatted to get the soft complementry background. Grabbed few shots before she flew away.

Coyote

I was making my on the road, when I saw a coyote off to the side. I slowed down, and it slowly moved away, but I was  still able to see it. I was in a good position to take its pictures. It was standing behind a tree, but both of its eyes were visible to the camera. Grabbed few shots and then off I went to my destination.

Snake for Lunch

Garter Snakes are common across North America due to their adaptability to the various landforms. Being heterothermic, garter snakes take in the heat from the sun to control their body temperature. They use a system of pheromonal communication, finding other snakes by following their pheromone scented trails. With their carnivorous diet, they will eat almost anything they can overpower. But on the day the attached picture was taken,  few garter snakes were being overpowered by omnivore grizzly cubs.

Until next moment,

Grizzly Cubs

Two grizzly cubs play fight, a practice fight for the day the skills will come in handy or they are simply fighting for the food between them.

Until next moment,
