Big Day at Brooks Camp

Today was a great day. Right away in the morning we got a bear call. So I hurried down to the river. This time we found a large Sow, or female bear, with two yearlings. A yearling is spending their second summer with mom. Cub mortality is high so everyone was excited to see the mom return with both of the cubs. They were adorable but mom was in a irratable state. She could not see us yet but something was definately disturbing her as you could she was aggitated by the way she was yawning and shaking her head. She quickly huffed at the cubs and started them down the beach. I shadowed them down the beach and watched as the thresome moved down the beach. It was an amazing sight to watch. The little family continued down the beach and around the corner. We never saw what had caused he to be so stressed.
