GRIZZLY BEAR SOW AND 2 CUBS
Image by Fool-On-The-Hill
I found this Grizzly near the summit of Mount Washburn early one morning through my binoculars. I spread the word of my sighting and a small group of people gathered watching her through a spotting scope. Then she started heading down slope toward the road. At one point they crossed a snow bank and the cubs had good time playing in the snow. Then she disappeared behind a ridge,but believing she was still heading down slope,I went to try and intersect her as she crossed the road. I was able to find her on the side of an open ridge just a few hundred yards from the road, and found an old level track to watch her from with relative safety of about 150 yards. After awhile I realized a small crown of people had gathered with me to watch her. She completely ignored us and never showed us any sign of aggression,even though every once in a while she would smell us and look at us. But she slowly made her way closer and closer to us,and people started to get nervous. At one point someone said "I'll leave when he does",referring to me, I responded,oh,you don't want to do that, lets just say I am not known for my judgment,you see,I have nothing to lose. Mean while everyone got some good photos,although the lighting wasn't perfect. Then she disappeared into the trees,and not knowing where she was,I declared,People,its time to go. So we all went back down to the road,and waited for her to emerge from the woods and cross the road. we waited almost an hour,but she never came back out of the forest. apparently the Park Service had been hazing her by shooting her with bean bags when ever she was on the road,and so she was hesitant to cross once they showed up. Typical day of bear watching in Yellowstone.
Merry Christmas!
