On July 22nd Aaron got to visit Katmai National Park which is where the brown bears feed on spawning sockeye salmon. There are bridges and platforms to view the bears but you are pretty close. These guys are pretty well feed at this time of year so they are not really interested in all the people watching. This is an area that Aaron has wanted to visit for awhile and this year there was finally time.
Many of the bears hang out on these falls, Brooks Falls, trying to catch their next meal. The top males sit at the foot of the falls and let the fish run into them. The other bears have to fight for their even after they get a fish.
This is one of the bigger males going to eat his catch!
