End of Her Swim

Here we see a well known female grizzly bear from the Khutzeymateen, just checking us out before she heads ashore at the end of her swim across one of the channels. As I’ve mentioned before […]

Eye Level

Some of the best shots you can get as a nature photographer are those with direct eye contact with your subject. Being in a small inflatable at low tide in the Khutzeymateen provides great opportunities […]

Edge of the Forest

When out grizzly bear watching, it is always important to keep a good look out along the edge of the forest too. Wisely, not all bears like to come out in to plain view, even […]

Grizzlies Greeting

There have been a couple of posts about bears meeting up before (see ‘Bears Meeting’ & ‘The Meeting’) but both of those posts have shown bears that are related to each other, these two guys […]

Come And Join Me

Here we see a picture of a male grizzly bear fishing on a river system in British Columbia. I took the shot a couple of years back and looking closely at the image, with him […]

Navigating The Woodpile

A bear’s environment can change and after winter hibernation bears can find that their natural playground has changed drastically when they return – often through landslides and fallen trees. Back in 2018 I spotted an […]

Sitting For Lunch

I love this shot of a male grizzly bear that is about seven or eight years old who was happy for us to watch him whilst he was sitting eating his lunch of fresh springtime […]

Freya on the Rocks

There are still lots of photos still to come from here at home too and here’s a shot of one of my old favourite young grizzly bears that I used to see frequently along the […]

A Couple of Profiles

I’ve done several posts over the years showing and explaining the physical differences between black and grizzly bears, but I don’t think I’ve ever done a head to head profile comparison before, until now. Here […]

Salmon Fishing

For bears along the BC coast, both grizzly and black bears, fishing can be an art or a well developed skillset, either way, it needs practice and often a lot of concentration. This guy seems […]

Lunch With Honey

Here’s another shot of the affectionately named grizzly bear ‘Honey’ this time munching away on Lyngby’s Sedge around lunchtime one day back in 2022. I also posted an update on her around that time (see […]

All-Alone.jpg

All Alone

I couldn’t resist this guy, he looks so sad, fed up at being all alone perhaps. As I’ve said before, adult grizzly bears pretty much lead a solitary life; as juveniles and sub-adults they may […]

Portrait of a Prince

Back in November of 2023 I published a post called ‘This Way Mum’ which many seemed to like and comment on. One of the most popular questions was about the young bear’s mark on the […]

Supervisory Momma

Having just swam across a channel between two grassy knolls in the Khutzeymateen, this momma grizzly bear is keeping a close eye on her young cub. I just love the look in her eye, (zoom […]

Sockeye Bear

I was fortunate to be able to visit the home territory in British Columbia of this young grizzly bear, his sibling and his mum a couple of times and on each occasion the three of […]
