This black bear stood in the middle of the river and focused on a spot where many salmon had gathered. The bear was keeping a close eye on their movement, waiting for the right moment to jump and catch one.

Chunky black bear in a fast-flowing river stares at a spot in the water. It looks super focused.

Mrs. and Mr. Wood Duck (Aix sponsa) on an early morning stroll at a marsh.

Spotted during a recent photo tour. We heard their call first so we approached very slowly and quietly.

#photography #nature #birds #VancouverIsland #BritishColumbia #Canada #VancouverIslandWildlife

A female and male wood ducks on a fallen tree with moss that is resting above a marsh. There are trees in the background and they are out of focus. The wood duck is about 43–52 centimetres (17–20.5 inches) long. Both male and female have a characteristic head crest. The crest of the male has two longitudinal white stripes. His purple and green head, red-brown breast flecked with white, and bronze sides are readily identifiable. The distinguishing feature of the female is a white eye-ring; her body is a sooty gray-brown, with white throat and white streaked breast.

Mama Grizzly in a field of wildflowers on Vancouver Island, British Columbia. Isn't she beautiful?

A light brown grizzly sow in a lush meadow with tall green grass, pink and white wildflowers. She looks away to something outside the frame. We can only see her back, shoulders and head because the grass is tall.

This gorgeous chunky black bear just spotted a delicious salmon. At this time of year, bears consume up to 20,000 calories per day. It is called hyperphagia. I can only hope to eat that much! 😆

Huge black bear standing in a river, water flowing fast over its feet. The bear faces the photographer but its eyes are focused on a fish a few metres in front of them.
