    Awesome, beautifully done. So glad 128 Grazer was on a mission and let you just admire her. Thank you for sharing.

    This was so great! The bear fishing off the lip with the marshmallow ears, and 2 cubs to her right is bear 128, Grazer, and she’s a rockstar. The little cub that was supposed to stay in the tree is 909’s coy. We named her Bean for now 😊 This video made me sooo happy!

    Wow, just wow. You are so lucky to witness such an exciting year in Katmai. Salmon run were late this year force bears to visit the falls for the best fishing spot. The record was 48 bears! My favorite scene was when you show 909 little cub Bean. She is so adorable and independent for a coy. Well, her mom only 5,5yo. Can't blame her.
    Wish I could visit Brooks Falls in the future. Thank you for sharing the journey with us

    Thanks so much for sharing your trip . If my dream to go ever came true , I think I would cry most of the time with disbelief.
    My heart was pounding with joy watching your video.

    Definitely one of my life's goals is to see the bears in person. I love how you captured so many of the bears - 480 Otis zenning out by the jacuzzi, 128 Grazer and cubs at the lip, 909 and cub at the lip, and possibly 903 with his second favorite snack, seagulls. :D Thanks for making/sharing your video!

      I’ve started learning them. Otis is a favorite of mine and he’s such a famous one too!

    This just came up in my feed, and it was amazing! It really gave me an idea of what it would be like to go there - walking on the trail with the bears. Just wow!!! Beautiful photographs also 💗

    Excellent video! I'm new to bear-watching so was glad to see Otis since he hasn't made a 2023 appearance yet.

    @jansleight543 ปีที่แล้ว +2

    I very much enjoyed your video! I loved seeing the land from up in the air. Gully, Otis, Grazer and girls. Loved the behind-the-scenes views of the plane, the campground, the bears on the trail (!). And the exquisite views of the lower river at the very end. Great job! :)

    This was fabulous! Such great footage of the bears and trails to the viewing space! The only part that was hard was the seagull😧, I’ve never seen a bear eat one. Thank you for sharing! This is tops on my bucket list! I love bears, and have wanted to go a long time. It is very expensive!

    So jealous u got to see the famous 128 Grazer (fluffy blond ears) around the 5 minute mark teaching her cubs how to fish. However, I would never want to meet her on a trail w cubs.

      Me neither. You run the risk of being Grazered.

      It definitely wasn’t Grazer, looked like 708 and her two yearlings.

    Thanks for stopping the music a Beard walked by on trail!
    Would rather hear what folk are saying. I'm one who hates music interrupting what's going on in movies as well.

    That was a beautiful video, you’re so lucky to have seen it in person. For now, I’m stuck watching the webcam highlights. One day I hope to see Alaska, and Brooks Falls. May I ask what type of camera you used for those beautiful still shots?

    I am that "Number 2" that U C in the "Thumbs Down" section.
    Why?
    U KNOW >>> "Y".
    U R not uneducated when it comes to these Katmai Brown Bears.
    R U.
    U KNEW full well the shock & awe U would create by showing a bear eating a seagull.
    Did U not?
    2 gain appeal?
    If not.....
    2 gain "what" exactly?
    U KNOW.
    GOD BLESSES ALL.
    Footnote: I had hit the "Thumbs-Up" half-way thru your video.......

    The end of this video looks like a Bob Ross painting....Happy Little Trees....Jolly Ole Brown Bear....wait a minute...that Brown Bear is a female and so much smaller than the males...and she has cubs...Oh, nevermind, I realize why Bob didn't include the Bears...because the Bear was the most BadArse Mamma Bear @ Brooks River/Falls aka Grazer....she went tow to toe with 856 who use to be the most dominant bear and if memory serves me correctly she got into a tussle with either 747 or another large male....resulting in the male tunbling down the River's happy little embankment... This season, Grazer has already gone toe to toe with another massive bear, looked more than twice her size...the poor guy was just trying to get to the river but Big Mama and her little ones were close by....this bear did not tumble down the side of the embankment....NOPE....Grazer literally either pushed him off or he was forced to take a defensive step backwards as he was at the edge of a 12-15ft embankment....and the Male Bear took a HAPPY LITTLE PLUNGE OFF THE CLIFF ON TO THE 3 INCHES OF WATER FLOWING OVER THE JOYOUS JAGGED, POINTED ROCKS....So tranquil....(CHECK OUT EXPLORE.ORG KATMAI NATIONAL PARK BEAR CAMS OR TH-cam LIVE BEAR CAMS...IN 2022, THEY JUST WENT LIVE THIS WEEK...IN FACT, JUST 2 DAYS AGO...DOWNLOAD THE BEAR BOOK...FREE PDF THAT HELPS ID AND GIVES SOME INFO ABOUT MOST BEARS....I PRAY A MIRACLE HAPPENS THIS YEAR...I WILL NOT MENTION BC DON'T WANT TO JINX IT BUT ANYONE FAMILIAR WILL KNOW EXACTLY WHAT I AM REFERRING)
