These are more photos from the Tweedsmuir Provincial Park area of B.C., Canada following the last post..."Some Bears"...
I posted this photo in my very first "blog" a couple of months ago. I post it again here, because as I said this is my favorite :) The cub is a bit traumatized in this photo and staying close to Mom, because Mom just had a run-in with another bear in the brush behind them. We heard a lot of snarling and thrashing about while the cub was waiting at water's edge, very anxious. The other bear emerged from the fray and was seen walking away...Mom,,the victor !
This was actually the bear that tangled with Mama Bear earlier.
A couple of Merganser Ducks.
So, we were introduced to this little guy at 11,000 feet up in the Beartooth Mountains outside Yellowstone Park...the brave Pika :) here in Canada while hiking into a rather remote area in search of bears, we came upon this fellow. In Canada, they call them "Peeka's". In any case, I was happy to see this tough but cute critter :)
#1 and #2 for this expressions in the faces! But in the end I like #6 most. I'm sure it was a fast little fellow and difficult to catch.
Thanks, Sigrid...One would think, as you did, that the little Pika would be difficult to capture, but as I discovered with the first ones that I saw in Montana, they seem to enjoy the attention
They show no fear of humans as they just sit and munch on their grass. Very interesting little critters !
