Description
I'm going to start a series of wildlife images taken in southeast Alaska. I'm a photographer/teacher/guide for people that come to Juneau on vacation, so I thought I'd share a little of what we experienced this past summer.
It seems the holy grail for photographers that come to Alaska is the bear. Since we don't have too many Brown Bears/Grizzlies in this area I'll start my series with a brown American Black Bear, or what we call a Cinnamon Black Bear. Black Bears come in many shades from bluish grey to reddish to jet black.
This guy came out of the woods as I was walking along a road at the Mendenhall Glacier. He was quite close, but wasn't concerned with me as it was salmon spawning time and he was headed for a nearby stream to fish.

Wow, what a shot--I love bears, but only from a distance; they have a kind of aura about them that is powerful. Looking forward to this series!!

I too am fascinated by bears, they are amazing animals, i saw a couple of wild black bears in the Coast mountains and on the pacific coast of Vancouver island when i was there in 2007. Never got a good shot of any of them though.. Lovely photo !!

He is great. I was in Juneau several years ago. We did not see any bears but we did see whales and of course, eagles. You live in such a wonderful place.

Excellent focus and you did seem to get his hackles up.

He seems a little lean so I'd think this was early in the summer. Also, I would expect more cinnamon if it was warmer and during the middle of the year. I've seen a few but not so healthy and preoccupied as this one. Fabulous natural capture.
