He met a very close encounter bear (2-3 m distance) and took his camera out for a photo of him...silly man! But cool to see it for us!

The bear was last week.

Below is today at dawn near lost lake it is called. Was he sick? Hubby thought not, though it was mighty unusual how close he was to people and dogs. He flew away eventually. He seems a bit roughed up to me in his feathers...
