This black bear mom had three small cubs hidden in the shrubs in the foreground. When she detected our presence, up on a nearby clifftop, she put the cubs up the top of a fir tree for safety.

Bird life was prolific in these Chilcotin area parks and protected areas. As well as the bears we saw California big horn sheep, long-billed curlew, golden eagle, mountain bluebird, vesper sparrow, Lewis’ woodpecker, and many warblers, flycatchers, swallows, and waterfowl.
