Afternoon Snack (2)
Last winter's snow storms have ensured a healthy Taylor Creek stream for the Kokanee Salmon to spawn. The increased fish population has been great for the local California Black bears in Hyperphagia, a stage when the bears increase their feeding activities to build up fat reserves for winter. Bear's hyperphagia also brought me luck to get this shot.
