Bears at Mendenhall Glacier

Everyday that I have gone looking for bears, I have seen some. One little guy likes the tree and climbs it and rests after eating salmon. There are literally hundreds of dead salmon all over the stream. Bears take a bite or two and then leave the fish laying around. It smells like dead fish - big time. I am on an elevated platform when taking pictures so it is quite safe. I was within feet of one of these bears and idid not even see him. A fellow told me to stop and look by the water. When the bear moved, I was able to see him. They fit into the environment very well. It is raining a lot in Juneau today.
