And this is a more complete shot of him (or her.) Do you see the blonde stripe down his back? That's what appears as "grizzle" and where the bear gets his name. I've never seen a grizzly up this close before, black bear, yes. Grizzly, no.
See our windshield wiper? He was walking right in front of us! He looked angry - or at least out of sorts. No way were we gonna get out of the car, and I was busy rolling the window up. Don't know if I've ever seen what appeared to be an angry bear on any of our travels - lots of bears, but never an irritated one...
He/she went on across the road, through the railing, and over toward the water, still looking angry. Or maybe he just had a headache?
Through the water and on off across the meadow for a snack.
Usually I want to get out and try to make 'em feel better, massage between their ears, smooth the frazzled nerves in their back. This guy was on his own though. Best to let him figure out feeling better all by his boy lonesome. Sorry, guy. But thanks for the photo op!
