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!

After this sow had sated her appetite (at least for the moment), she left the creek to deliver a freshly caught Pink Salmon to her three, very small young-of-the-year cubs.
