WOW what a first week with the Bears. I went out four times this week and got many great shots, but Wednesday (April 20th) evening was over the top. I arrived to the field after a swift paced bike ride and as usual the light was fading and rain was starting to land on my sun glasses.
When I turned up to the field a large Sow (Correct term for a momma bear) I had never seen before was in the middle of the clearing with 2 cubs. My heart started racing with excitement as I got myself set up and in a good position. I grabbed a few shots but they disappeared after about 5 minutes when another Sow and cub I watched on Monday night showed up on the scene. A double bear whammy.
I watched the Black Sow and cub for about an hour and just as I was about to pack up and leave the Black/Brown Sow came back with her two cubs again for some grassy supper.
For more of the story see the video posted in Part 2.
And now for the introductions:
