The Bears of Brooks Falls in Katmai National Park, Alaska.
I have been to Brooks Falls 6 times. Each time get hundreds of images of specific bears in all types of situations. In this section you will find some of those images. If you are looking for something that you do see, feel free to drop me a letter via my email address below. All pictures are available for purchase. Simply “click” on the picture!
Bears flock to the falls to await the great sockeye salmon migration. The migration was a bit late that year and all the bears would congregate each night and wait. The day after this image was taken, a large number of salmon came through feeding everyone. Image taken July 17th, 202. Click on the picture to purchase.
Bear #409 Beadnose catches a fish. This image was taken late July 2018. Sadly, this was the last year that she was seen at Brooks Falls. Click on the picture to purchase.

A close encounter with an apex predator can stop your heat. While walking alone, I ran into bear #151 Walker. I stood my ground and tried to appear uninterested. He gave me a “huff” as i took a few images and then i talked slowly away. Click on the picture to purchase.
In July of 2021 I took this image of bear #128 Grazer catching a sockeye salmon. Does anybody know who is next to her? Click on the picture to purchase.
