Grizzly Bear swiping left

If you visit a BC salmon river in the autumn it is easy enough to photograph Grizzly Bears eating salmon. But it is not so easy catching them in the act. Bears chase down fast-moving salmon in the shallows where they spawn. But it all happens so quickly amid much splashing it can be difficult to see what's going on. This Grizzly was just about to take a swipe at a terrified Chum Salmon. Bears don't always succeed, but this encounter did not end well for the salmon.
