This gorgeous chunky black bear just spotted a delicious salmon. At this time of year, bears consume up to 20,000 calories per day. It is called hyperphagia. I can only hope to eat that much! 😆

A fawn sticks its tongue out at me as I catch it with its mother, eating the last of the blackberries.

After catching a salmon in a river, bears walk to the forest to eat it. They eat the fatty parts of the fish such as the brain, skin and eggs. The rest of the fish feeds birds, insects, invertebrates, and trees.

A black bear comes out of a river with a salmon in its mouth. Water drips from its fur as it walks on a rocky shoreline. Some rocks have barnacles and yellow kelp. The bear heads to the right of the image.

Autumn is here, cooler nights, shorter days. Soon the Vancouver Island marmot will go into hibernation. This adult marmot was enjoying the last days of summer. Photo taken a few years ago.

A brown marmot with a white spot on its forehead, chest and around its nose rests on a big grey boulder. The marmot looks at the photographer. To its right there are some short plants on the boulder that are in their autumn foliage: orange and red. A forest in the background is out of focus.

This black bear cub is about 8 to 9 months old. It looks very healthy and fat enough to survive its first winter. Its mum is experienced and great at catching salmon. I think that she is an alpha female or matriarch in the clan.

Black bear sow looking at her two cubs. Photo taken earlier this week. She is a good mother and experienced. In a previous post, I mentioned that she might be the matriarch in the clan based on my observations of the past years.

A chuncky female black bear sits on a flat boulder near a river and a field of yellow grass. She looks to her left in the direction of her two cubs (not in the picture). She is still lactating based on the size and shape of her teats.

Black bear cubs waiting for their mum while she is catching salmon. There was a lot of communication between the cubs and between the cubs and their mum. Verbal and also tactile. I enjoyed watching their interactions, I just wish I could understand.

Two black bear cubs next to each other look away in the same direction. One is sitting, the other is standing. Their heads are almost touching. They are on a shore covered by grey pebbles, there is some brown kelp in the background and part of a log.

A young Vancouver Island marmot exploring its environment a few summers ago. Like any young animal, it is curious about its surroundings and every creatures that inhabits it.

The Vancouver Island marmot is endemic to Vancouver Island, the only marmot species on the island and an endangered species.

A small brown marmot with a white spot on its forehead, nose and chest sits on its butt and looks away. It is on the left side of the photo and looks to the right. It is surrounded by plants and rocks. Some plants have green foliage, others are red. The marmot is in focus, the rest of the photo is blurry. The marmot looks contemplative.

Western sandpiper foraging at low tide last week on Vancouver Island.
I love sandpipers, they are interesting to photograph as I have to anticipate which way they're going and they move fast, stop, run, stop...

A shore bird with a white belly and chicks, a long black beak and long legs. Its back is a patchwork of light and dark brown markings. Its eyes are black. The photo is taken at ground level. The bird is on a patch of small grey pebbles and there is kelp around.
