Just realized that March 23 is #WorldBearDay A bit late to the party but some of you probably know that they are one of my favourite subjects to photograph. I have a page in my portfolio dedicated to black bears: https://www.catherinebabault.com/black-bears-on-vancouver-island and another one for grizzly bears: https://www.catherinebabault.com/grizzly-bears-on-vancouver-island

Here's a photo of a beautiful black bear during the salmon run on Vancouver Island.
