Your daily bear photo, courtesy of yours truly.
Context for new followers: I took this photo in September during the salmon run on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. This bear was keeping an eye on salmon going up a stream, hoping to catch a few of them. As you can judge from its body shape, it is very successful. 😁
Note that I do not approach bears, I use a telephoto lens. I practice ethical photography.

in reply to Catherine Babault • • •Ethical photography means that I respect wildlife and apply these principles:
- I do not bait, call, feed, trap, manipulate or harass wildlife.
- I avoid disturbing their routine.
- I don't destroy their environment to ''get a better photo''.
- I keep a respectful and safe distance.
- I don't overstay.
- I arrive quietly and leave quietly.
- If I feel that an animal is stressed by my presence, I leave immediately.
- I study the animal at home to understand their behaviour & life.
