    Saw an article that the brooks falls bear cam in katmai national park, Alaska was back up. Didn't know it was "down", but I checked it out at 8:45 this morning and it was beautiful. No bears yet, but the sun was coming up and the salmon jumping the falls is amazing! The site has links to many other wildlife cams worldwide.

    Wow, thanks so much for sharing. There is a bear there now at the base of the falls. You can see the fish trying to make their way up over the falls.

    Very cool link! Thanks for sharing. I just watched a bear wade up to the base of the falls, sit there a few minutes, catch a salmon and walk off. Pretty cool:yes:

    Here's another site for watching deer and other critters I check out from time to time,

    Last August we did a bear adventure near Juneau.
    Flew in a little bush float/plane to an inlet. Saw lots of salmon, tracks, fur, remains of salmon in the woods, and poo ... but no bears...so disappointing. :hair: still a good time though!

    Great link, Boog!
    Thanks for sharing:handshake:

    Looked at the bear cam but they were not interested in fishing. There were more important things on their minds!!!! Right there in front of God and everyone.

    Complete difference between yesterday morning and just now. There are no fish jumping at all versus 10 or so in the air at any moment yesterday morning?

    My wife was sitting out reading a cookbook and drinking tea up to camp at 9 am when she glanced to her right and saw a Black Bear five feet away looking at her yesterday. She screamed bear and ran in the camper, and the bear took off for the hills. The bear even left "peel out marks" in the pine needles. My response was, "what no pics". Yeah, that wasn't gonna happen.
