Black Bears - Fishing for Pink Salmon
Millions of Pink Salmon (Humpies) return to the Solomon Gulch Fish Hatchery in Valdez, Alaska each year, attracting every bear in the area. I have seen as many as 19 different bears around the hatchery in a single afternoon! Needless to say, this is an opportunity worth the 5+ hour drive (one way) from Anchorage to Valdez. It's a good thing there are so many bears, otherwise one would never see them for the Gulls!

This Humpy can't win. A Gull has already taken an eye, now it's in the jaws of a Black Bear! It's a good thing there are a lot of Salmon otherwise none would reach the spawning grounds!
