A few more from the weekend

[evil eggplant]

All taken at Taylor Creek, CA. All 40D, 100-400L

It would be way better if the bear shots looked less like zoo shots and more like bears in the wild, which they were. Next time, I'll resist the urge to get close *all the time* and include a few bears within their surroundings .

"Taylor Creek, CA" -- is that California, or Canada? And exactly how close were you to those bears? :eek1

Awesome shooting there, dude. :thumb:thumb

Oh, and btw. I believe those are merganzers in those last two frames. And very well captured at that.
