Bears are fond of fish. Nature has blessed it in the art of foraging food. Probably more than an angler, a bear is capable of catching Salmons. A great haiku !

The bear's first instinct was food so he did what he did best go the stream and find some salmon - which he did , maybe mama and baby bears to feed. Lovely Haiku Bill,hope you are well. Blessings galore Jennifer

It’s mesmerizing to watch them catch salmon on the run. I just wouldn’t risk getting too close. A bear has to do what a bear has to do to survive. I hope you’re well, Bill.

Bill Baker
Date: 6/13/2023 4:35:00 PM

I'm doing fine, Lin, thanks for asking. We shouldn't mess with animals in the wild ... that's why we call them wild animals. lol Thanks for the visit and comments my friend. You have a great week. Bill
