PATIENCE PAYS
Patience and skill pay off for this Black Bear. During the fall and winter months when the salmon migrate up the creeks and rivers to reproduce, the Black Bears take advantage. The Black Bears fatten up on salmon which helps them gain the needed weight for the colder winter months.
It is estimated there are more than 120,000 Black Bears in British Columbia and over 7,000 Black Bears on Vancouver Island, making it one of the more dense places in the world for this bear population.
Note, photo taken in a very dark environment, so I had to do some editing to get rid of noise due to high iso. Not the best image quality, but I like the story telling element I was able to capture.
