I just returned from MN where I had a great opportunity to photograph black bears at the Vince Shute Wildlife Sanctuary.

This image is from one of my blog posts 'It's a tough year!'

Nikon D3, 200-400mm VR, ISO 2000

Bear does look a bit skinny. Good capture Ed.

Ed, that is a really nice series and equally good narrative on the early stages of life from the perspective of the bear. Thanks for sharing!

Thanks for blogging this out...Interesting reading. You have some really nice shots. I bet it was a lot of fun just watching them!

Nice shot, Ed, who is he looking at? Your pictures on you blog are also very nice.

Tom, He just got out of the tree and is looking at a male that walked by and scared him up the tree.

Karla, It was simply incredible being there for two days. The rule is to stay 10' away from them if you can imagine that!

Great story, Ed. You came away with some real keepers.
