Russian River Bears

On our Saturday stroll we saw....two brown bear eating on salmon. People were close-by fishing and photographing but it was a bit uncomfortable for me. This one was in a cove across the river

Watching him go under, grab a fish and shake it was interesting but I knew it would only take a bounce or two across the water and we'd be his dinner. As we are leaving we're walking along the boardwalk and we see this one right along the shore. I guess he was within 15 feet - too close whatever length it was. This is the first time I've seen brown bear this close and it is okay with me if it is the last .
