I had hopes of seeing and photographing my first ever bear at Glacier National Park.
Unfortunately, it wasn’t meant to be. It turned out it wasn’t easy finding much wildlife at all during our smoky visits.
While walking around Logan Pass, I kept my eye on a gentleman off alone, intently scanning the distant elevations with what looked like an expensive pair of binoculars. I figured if he locked on something, there was something to see. 😉 But he kept moving on, walking the paths.
I finally met up and asked him if there were any bears out there. He grinned and said bears was exactly what he was looking for; but he’s been quite disappointed not seeing any recently there, they were probably starting to shelter from the incoming smoke, or heading out along the river areas looking for clearer air while staying fed. He said, “Bears are smart.” I agreed.
So what did I see and capture besides the American Robin two posts back?

With the conditions and too many people every where we went, I felt fortunate to find these! 🤗
