difficult July 27 sightings

Today we saw…

BEARS:
Grizzly bears can be a little hard to find on our diffcult July tides (half moon), as the berries are ripe and the sedge grass is deep. But we manged to see 2 ears sticking up above the sedge as we moved up into the river. Mom was asleep with her cub by her side. We waited. And waited. One boat got impatient and started to motor away. Mom popped up to look around. She kept looking over her shoulder across the estuary, why I don't know. But in the next hour she swam across in front of us, played with her cub, chased around, ate grass, stood up for a better view of us. We pushed our boat around the waterways quietly, we were thrilled to be this close to a real west coast grizzly bear.
black bears - none, just a quick glimps, half moon tides are poor black bear tides as the tide is high in the morning when they are hungry.

BIRDS:
numerous bald eagles
marbled murrelets
Merganzer with 9 chicks
belted Kingfisher

harbour seals
harbour porpoise
