A few Salmon at the river mouth!

Today we saw 5 Grizzly Bears, spread out around the cove. . First we saw a Mom with cub-of-year rolling rocks at the water's edge. Then we noticed another female grizzly doing the same further down the beach. A pink salmon was jumping in the river mouth, and an American Bald eagle swooped down and grabbed it with its talons. While we were eating lunch we saw the twins at the river mouth. We had our mouths full of sandwiches when the twins starting chasing salmon in the low tide rapids. By the time we got there the twins had faded into the forest with their catch. 3 black tail deer came really close to the boat, perhaps using us as defense from the bears. Lenore munched away on the sedge grass, ignoring the fish and deer. A great day!
