Description
This black bear was on the prowl near Valdez, Alaska where pink salmon were running near the fish hatchery. He had come down from a wooded area and was moving in the mud flat near the water. It was amazing to see him fishing and coming up with salmon for his dinner.
The American Black Bear is a medium-sized bear native to North America. It is the continent's smallest and most widely distributed bear species. Black bears are omnivores with their diets varying greatly depending on season and location. They typically live in largely forested areas, but do leave forests in search of food. Sometimes they become attracted to human communities because of the immediate availability of food. The American black bear is the world's most common bear species.

uh... Phyllis.. He seems very interested in you and what you're doing!! Since you're here to post his awesome photograph, I'll assume you have a very long-range zoom!!! :)
Phyllis Taylor replied:
Elizabeth, yes, I this was taken with a zoom, however the salmon were running and he had about as much available food as he could want.
