I did an overnighter on the Deschutes to see if the Stoneflies were popping yet. Caught a few fish, but spent more time looking at the birds...

She had her eye on me from the second I got out of the boat...

This "mama to be" hunkered down on the nest and waited for us to drift on down the river. Pretty safe amongst the poison oak shoots popping up.

Sequoia National Park about two years ago. I photographed roughly 36 bears that year (most of which were there), but this was probably the highlight as this mother had three cubs with her. The most I've seen with a mother before that was 2. All of them made it too as I saw them last year.

They are staring at a family of deer believe it or not, which then for whatever reason terrified the babies and sent them running up a tree.View attachment 22935

Awesome picture, what part of the park were you in?
