On A Rocky Path

Here we see one of the female grizzly bears of the Khutzeymateen making her way along a path between some rocks on the beach of the estuary. I believe that this is the young bear […]

A Green-leaf Bonnet

Here we see a fall shot of a young female grizzly bear searching a BC river system looking for salmon. It was so tempting to remove it, but I decided to leave her with the […]

Pearly Whites

It seems that for this portrait this grizzly bear was showing us his ‘pearly whites’, but really he was just chewing some sedge. Not heard much these days, but the term ‘pearly whites’ is an […]

Out For A Paddle

You’d be forgiven if on first glance you thought this was a black bear, especially considering how dark and wet this grizzly bear’s coat is. But this splendid looking guy was paddling along a creek […]

Supper With A Star

Here we see one of the ‘Star’ sisters chowing down on some still fresh Lyngby’s sedge. Even though this picture was take some ten years after I first encountered the Star sisters and their mum […]

Sad Looking Momma

Here we see a rather sad and very wet looking momma grizzly bear – who also had two wet and hungry cubs of the year with her out along the BC coast. For the preceding […]

Two Little Diggers

Just look at the state of these two little guys! They were out with their mum and another sibling on the mud flats of the Khutzeymateen digging for clams on the low tide – but […]

You Can Do It!

Have you ever been a spectator at an event and found yourself determinedly wishing for a participant to succeed? The sort of feeling where you can hear yourself in your head saying “go on, go […]

Trying For A Nap

I came across this sleepy looking fella one afternoon in the Khutzeymateen Grizzly Bear Sanctuary on the BC coast. The tide was starting to get high and there wasn’t too much open dry land left […]

Following The River

Here’s a serene shot from the Khutzeymateen Grizzly Bear Sanctuary on the BC coast, taken as we slowly followed a bear along the river and out on to the estuary. The bear was calm and […]

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 […]
