Curious you only mention brown bears.
Some kind of racist or something?
:)
Kidding aside, bears are magnificent creatures.
Except when they’re attacking Mr. Edwards on “Little House on the Prairie”
But I digress...
Right in time, as the birds on the live nest cams are fledging. Once the owls and eagles fledge, I switch to the bears :-)
I flew to near that location in a float plane, then into a small boat to fish where a small river emptied out of the rocks. We were very close (<50’) to brown bears who were also fishing.

I have been to Katmai National Park before but not to Brooks Falls. Took a float plane into Hallo Bay. These bears are quite huge at 25 yards and with no electric fencing.
In the early evening there are two guys on that channel who act as sportscasters and give a play by play of the bears.
“Bob, it’s beautaful day here at Katami falls.
Tom: Yes it is, Bob. I see 341 is situated at her favorite spot at the top of the plunge pool and really has perfected her technique at catching salmon. Wait a minute...a younger male is approaching and might challenge her. He appears to be a new bear, one we’ve not seen before..., DID YOU SEE THAT? She gave his a low head swing sideways glance an he skedaddled back to where he came from...”
