Felica has Cubs and 399 Kicked Out Hers...



We ventured out of the park and up to Togwotee Pass, where it was rumored that a grizzly sow called Felicia (Grizzly # 863)  was active with her first set of cubs…


This grizzly is well known to local photographers because of her acceptance of human presence, and everyone was hoping that this would be the year she would emerge from hibernation with cubs following…



When she did appear with two coy (cubs of the year) her little family delighted everyone and slowed traffic to a crawl…




Felicia dug for roots, bulbs and bugs within a few feet of the road.  The photographers present moved to provide her with adequate space to go wherever she wanted…


  I felt that the interaction between the people and the bears was a good example of how nature enthusiasts can observe wildlife without law enforcement being involved…








After spending our morning with Felicia and her coy, we were surprised to see a lone sub-adult grizzly at Pilgrim Creek…



This bear is thought to be one of 399’s cubs.  If so, 399 must have sent them packing while she looks for a new mate…


Thanks for visiting, be well, and come back soon.
