Like black bears, brown bears can vary in color. This young male had a lighter coat than any of the other bears we saw at Lake Clark — more of a blondish brown. He was doing a bit of a dance as we drove past on our way back to the lodge. Nikon D500 with Nikkor 200-400mm lens (at 200mm) ISO 800, f/4 at 1/1000th of a second.

Another great bruin shot, Sean!
Thanks Sue. They sure do make good subjects. And are usually quite cooperative in front of the camera.
Eh, I dunno, his roots are showing. Looks pretty busted to me.
Love that he was so willing to pose–and glad you weren’t nearby on foot with only your camera for defense!
Really fun to see them when they stand.
