BIG BLACK BEARS!

11 July – Continued

Tonight it was the big bear hunt and we saw some BIG black bears. Strangely enough, we saw the first bear on the outskirts of the town – and it isn’t a very big town!!! Following the bear, we saw a herd of female elks with calves, then an osprey in its nest on top of a tree, then a bald eagle (how majestic he looked!), a litter of three coyote pups (how cute they looked, but the guide didn’t recommend getting out of the vehicle to get closer, something about their mum probably not liking it), a couple of mule tailed deer, some more elk, a male elk complete with rack and best of all – two black bears right beside the road!!! One of them was HUGE, even the guide said it was very big for a black bear. It has been the most wonderful evening.
