Bear With a Successful Sockeye Salmon Catch After a Day of Water Fall Fishing

I watched this brown bear for several hours from a viewing platform at Brooks Falls as it went after a dinner of sockeye salmon. It finally presented an entire fish to me and my camera! Such joy! The salmon were late in 2021 so competition had been fierce.
