| It's late September and I'm running out of time to
see a grizzly. I've seen black bear, moose, elk, deer,
eagle and several other of the animals that live in
the park. Most of the staff have seen grizzly, some
in Fishing Bridge. I've given advice to several guests
as the where they might find a grizzly, and several
of them seen the bears where I said they might be, but
I hadn't seen one in 2 months. Then on September 24th
we took a slow drive over Sylvan Pass down to the East
Gate, turned around and started back up the grade. At
the first turnout to the left, there he was. Big, beautiful,
and feeding up for hibernation. I had the 70-300mm lens
on, motor drive, and managed to get over 80 pictures
of this guy. My mission is complete. :-) |
