Coastal Brown Bears of Katmai Alaska, gather at streams in late June and early July. Salmon will soon be filling the waters on their primal quest to return to their birthing pools. Many bears arrive week's ahead and eat nutritous sedge grasses along the coast, as they wait patiently to feed on the salmon returning to spawn future generations of fish.

Coastal Brown Bears spend many hours of the day feeding on the sedge grass that grows along their coastal habitat.

Black Bears are very opportunistic; this mother takes advantage of a water post in a Yellowstone campsite. In fall when most people have gone bears forage around with no boundaries.

After the tide has receded, pools of ocean water remain along the coast. Theses "Tidal Pools" contain many creatures that have become the diet of Coastal Brown Bears. Blennies, a small ocean fish, are one such food sources that remain trapped in these pools. Always on the search for food, Coastal Brown Bears need only to lumber down the coast, nose in the air to locate this easily caught source of sustenance.
