Twins

Yesterday I experienced 19 different grizzly bears including this mom and her twins as they ran into the river in search of a salmon. Notice on the cub on the right seems to have pink eyebrows. We also saw another mom and twins as well as two separate sets of triplets during the day. I narrowed my 540 pictures down to 140 so it's difficult to know which ones to share. I thought I'd go with the cute factor today and tomorrow share a more action packed model.

Here's another shot of the twins fighting over the fish their mother just got for them a few minutes later: http://365project.org/kwind/miscellaneous/2014-09-18

***update: there was a news reporter on the trip. Tonight they ran this story. I'm at the very end sitting on the ground with the grey sweater looking through my camera. Here's the link: http://vancouverisland.ctvnews.ca/video?clipId=445012
