that's a lot of bears. It looks like a very large black bear is in the mix and on the far side of the falls there's a monster of a bear.

Watching him dive in and come up with a salmon is amazing.

Ya'll gotta watch this.

was cool.

Everytime she caught a fish they'd run up and one would eat off one side the other on the other side.

They were fighting, the cubs, or playing and I think she put an end to that. Something like, "Dammmint, you're hear to learn, not fool around" back atcha.

The two bear on the far side of the falls are HUGE. The one does a bellyflop dive to get his fish, the other hasn't caught any as yet.

and left rather hurridly. His sibling has missed two, one that he had in his mouth.

It's funny to watch them.

There are 8 - 9 grizzlys there at the falls.. Fattening up for the winter.

it's good for the spirit.....

Some of those bears are huge. The one on the far side does a belly flop to catch his fish. I wonder where he/she learned that.

won't be long it'll be snowing.

I've been watching the sow and her cubs. In the beginning she was feeding them, then she was sharing with them, now she's tired of putting up with their b.s, (bear shit) and expects them to feed themselves.

I don't think the smallest cub is going to make it thru the year.

I'd like to thank catbyte for bringing this site to my attention. It rocks.

it's snowing or sleeting or raining on the falls. Leaves are changing. I bet those bear wish they would have filled their bellies
alot earlier.

this is one of the best meditation sites I've found.

Thanx catbyte...
