Apple Eatin' Grizzly 3, Horr, Montana

Photographer's Notes:
    This large grizzly bear was frequenting a friends
    apple trees.  The 100+ year old trees are not far
    from the northern boundary of Yellowstone, so
    historic as they are - they are an attractant for
    bears during autumn when caloric intake is vital
    for the long sleep ahead.
    This image was taken from an open window
    while sitting in the safety of their home.  This
    bear would eat the fermenting apples - making it
    more lethargic by the hour!   
    I appreciated this frame - "the eye on the prize"!
    An opportunistic feeder, a grizzly is normally
    found in autumn at higher elevations. Due to a
    poor crop of whitebark pine nuts, this bear
    choose to tolerate humans and feed on other
    available sources.  This excellent food source will
    help it to survive the time in the den.
