Saturday, July 27, 2019 — Khutze Inlet, Mainland, British Columbia

It’s really foggy this morning, and when the fog clears a bit, it’s raining.  But, I’m determined to paddle up the river, where I hope to find grizzlies.  As it turned out, I didn’t have to paddle very far before I spotted grizzly ears peeking above the tall sedge.

I stayed with this bear for over an hour, hoping to get a decent shot, but all he wanted to do was eat grass.  Then, suddenly, a couple of seals that were lounging on a log took off like a shot, splashing lots of water as they dove for cover.  Apparently, they’d just noticed there was a grizzly nearby. All the splashing got the bear’s attention, and I was finally able to get a decent shot.
