Some bears in this area were digging in the sand for clams, and I assumed this beautiful bear was turning over rocks to get at the mussels; however, our guide who had worked this inlet for thirty years said she was eating barnacles. I never saw any mussel shells on the rocks and just watched her licking the bottoms of upturned stones.
Of course, being omnivores they will eat anything, including pushy photogs!

Thanks, Jim
There were 7 photographers on the boat. Sometimes we were able to use the inflated sides of the Zodiac to steady our shots, but most were simply handheld.
This particular photo was made from the shore.
I am working on an article about this great trip for James, and I hope it will be posted here. It should answer a lot of questions, such as: "How can I go there and do that?"
