Recently returned from Alaska and while I spent a total of 3 hours at the falls, there wasn't a single bear that tired to catch a salmon as it climbed the falls. However I thought this was worthy:

Nice shot. They make fishing look so easy. I guess the bones don't get stuck in their throats.

Thank you all for your kind comments. As to the bones I learned the bears normally stick to the brains and the gut as these are the most fat concentrated parts for gaining weight for the winter, and leave the rest of the fish laying around for the scavengers. My uneducated guess is what bones they get that way are such that they just crush them.

Nicely captured and framed. HallowedHill. Wildlife photography is a combination of patience, persistence and luck, and not always in equal measure.
