[QUOTE="Calgary 617, post: 21562, member: 6349"] I went on a guided grizzly tour with a photographer from AB to the coastal mountains of BC last October during the salmon run. Grizzlies are my favorite animal since I moved to Canada three years ago and this was the chance for me, to finally see them up close and to get some pictures. It was an amazing trip, we saw 21 grizzlies during five days and an uncountable number of eagles. Here's the valley in which we were staying during the trip with the log cabins. It was 250km away from the next town, no internet, only satellite telephone, but a paradise for nature photographers [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/calgary617/5643976948/][img]http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5144/5643976948_7b91691686_b.jpg[/img][/url] [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/calgary617/5643976948/]Valley[/url] by [url=http://www.flickr.com/people/calgary617/]Calgary617[/url], on Flickr The first grizzlies we saw just three after after landing with the small plane, a huge sow and two cubs [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/calgary617/5643410929/][img]http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5261/5643410929_b965016a72_b.jpg[/img][/url] [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/calgary617/5643410929/]Grizzly sow with cub[/url] by [url=http://www.flickr.com/people/calgary617/]Calgary617[/url], on Flickr The saw was way bigger than any bear I had ever seen in AB [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/calgary617/5643451957/][img]http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5182/5643451957_acf3e648ce_b.jpg[/img][/url] [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/calgary617/5643451957/]Sow splashing water[/url] by [url=http://www.flickr.com/people/calgary617/]Calgary617[/url], on Flickr Some days we saw no grizzlies at all, but the landscape still provided nice shots [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/calgary617/5643780693/][img]http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5066/5643780693_f65b218f36_b.jpg[/img][/url] [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/calgary617/5643780693/]Rainbow[/url] by [url=http://www.flickr.com/people/calgary617/]Calgary617[/url], on Flickr And the eagles were amazing too, in AB they fly off when you get as close as 500meters, here they were flying by so close that I could take shots at 300 getting them nearly full frame [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/calgary617/5644375010/][img]http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5188/5644375010_635371e39d_b.jpg[/img][/url] [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/calgary617/5644375010/]Bald eagle soaring[/url] by [url=http://www.flickr.com/people/calgary617/]Calgary617[/url], on Flickr Sow and cub play fighting [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/calgary617/5644519790/][img]http://farm6.static.flickr.com/5229/5644519790_ce2cd498da_b.jpg[/img][/url] [url=http://www.flickr.com/photos/calgary617/5644519790/]Playfight[/url] by [url=http://www.flickr.com/people/calgary617/]Calgary617[/url], on Flickr This was the only time when we got too close to the bears (we were shooting from small fishing boats) when the wind blew us closer and we didn't notice.
