Another Grizzly Bear spotted and photographed April Sixteen, 2025

It was a nice day and so we drove to Grand Teton National Park Entering the Park we tried to photographed a hawk, and a pair of soaring bald headed eagles. ,

At the Oxbow we photographed a pair of Barrows Goldeneye,

and just before leaving the park, another grizzly bear! One of our new set of images this year is to try to photograph the face of the bear to look for scars from fights. This would allow us to identify bears that do not have tags. We were not the first ones to spot the sleeping grizzly bear. It was so well camouflaged that we had to have it pointed out(see top photograph). There were quite a few cars parked, an obvious bear jam. Do you see it in the photograph? As it woke up the shape of its head became visible

and it was obvious as it walked out of the thick brush on all fours.

Comparing it with other pictures of Bruno and Bear number 610, we were able to eliminate both from the facial scars and chewed up ears. It maybe one of the three subadults 610 released last year.

If so 610 could emerge with a new coy, (cub of the year. However last year was a poor berry year and so she may have not been able to implant any fetuses/zygptes.

Time will tell. Clear skies
