Hungry Black Bear on Skyline Drive
I found this black bear last month on Skyline Drive in Shenandoah National Park. He was in a large oak tree loading up on acorns. It was not until he got down that I realized how big he was. Also with the gray on his face he must have been an older bear.

Enjoy

Neat shot Andrew. I really like how the bear is framed by the oak leaves. :cool:

Really like this. He certainly looks like an old one. Love the way the oak leaf lays beside his muzzle.
