He would splash around for a few seconds, come up with a salmon in his mouth, slosh over to the bank and have sashimi. We could hear the bones crunch. He was a bit picky though – he would eat only the best parts (well, what he seemed to think were the best parts) and leave the rest, then head back into the stream for the next one. He caught and ate four salmon while we were watching. He was not concerned with us at all; once he sat down to scratch an itch and fell backwards into the water. When he caught fish number 5, instead of eating it he climbed up the bank and headed towards the road. We backed up closer to the car while he crossed the road ahead of us and headed into the tall grass. A moment after I took this picture we couldn’t see him at all, even though we knew he was there. We had been told that we would not be able to see a bear on the meadow until he was too close for comfort, and now I believe it.
Unbelievable photos - hope all is going well - we are finally getting some heat - will be in the mid 90s to 100 next three days. Very uncomfortable for us coast folks. Mom and Dad in CO visiting Paulina and looks like they are having fun (based on facebook pics). Love you.
