I’m just back from my first foray into the field for this year and what a successful trip it was.  I got to see (but not photograph) my first ever red throated loons as well as my first glimpse of grizzly & black bears for the year.  This mother grizzly bear & her two yearling cubs I spotted last Thursday.  I think, looking at the centre parting on her forehead that she may well be the mom that I saw last year that had the two silver cubs of the year with her, the parting is a lot deeper this year, but it is very similar in shape and position.  So if you got any of the pictures of these three from me last year, I’m sure it’ll be nice to know the bears in your picture have successfully made it through the winter and are still doing well.
