We saw 4 bear snacking along the road. This was one of them.

Is he missing his left eye? Or just the angle of the photo.

That would be cool! It looks like it from the other photos. I was taking photos fast to avoid irritating him so didn't notice at the time.
Poor bear!! At least he's able to survive!!

You know, that is an interesting question! I was going to say, "No, he had both eyes", but I checked the other photo I have of him and his eye is dull in that one as well, even though I was to his right (so would have been a different sunlight angle). I cannot say for sure.

Pine marten caught a rabbit in our camp while packing to go home on the last day. My 8 year old told me twice while camping in that site that he saw a baby bear.

That's quite a "get" with the camera!

Yet another eagle pic...this one features a bold raven testing its limits. We were waiting for the eagle to render the raven headless. Never happened. On the Kawishiwi last Tuesday (on the way to Polly).

Seems like we have had a lot of eagles, but I still think I will submit mine. Fenske Lake, 2013.

A couple weeks ago, we came across a swimming bat on Fairy Lake on a sunny afternoon. It was the craziest thing I've ever seen! By the time we got close enough to it to get a pic, tho, it was crawling up on shore. I wish I could have photographed it swimming!
Since I didn't get a good pic, this dragonfly pic will have to for my submission...
