As the salmon left milling around at the base of the falls got fewer and fewer, confrontations started. Grizzly Bears know the harm they can inflict on each other so they so everything they can to avoid it. The signs are pretty obvious, they start with what appears to be a yawn. That progresses on to foaming at the mouth and jaw popping. The ears go back, the eyes move, face narrows, all to avoid coming to blows.<\/p>\n

And then the explosion happens. They have the fastest right you’ve ever seen in boxing, exploding from the water and coming down on their opponent. It was that intensity that I wanted to captured with every click. These two images were taken just 4 seconds apart.<\/p>\n

We saw more fights this afternoon than in all my years working with griz. This photo is one of my favorites. The fight is over the one thing that is tack sharp, the salmon.<\/p>\n

And the outcome of this fight? The bear lost his fish to the bear coming after him. The crowd on the platform was not happy by this turn of events but neither was the bear who lost his fish. That’s how it goes though. Photographically, I thoroughly enjoyed the challenge of making the images shooting at 1.8fps. It forced me to keep a keen eye on the action and depress the shutter release when the moment was right. I love challenges! mtc<\/p>\n
