23rd Annual Smithsonian Magazine Photo Contest Wildlife
Wading at Dawn
Despite our presence on a rather large boat, this juvenile bear carefully entered the water in search of salmon. Young and inexperienced, he did more wandering than fishing - But in the end was able to snag a fish. Even if it was basically dead when he found it.
