The Allure of Black Bears

Black bears rank among the most iconic animals in British Columbia. Their playful antics and striking appearance make them a popular subject for wildlife photographers. Observing these magnificent creatures in the wild is unlike any other experience. Capturing their essence through photography can be both rewarding and challenging.

Black bears emerge from hibernation during the spring and become increasingly active in search of food. As we photograph some amazing birds we usually have some special photographic moments with black bears. Black bears really enjoy dandelions and with a vast amount of these yellow flowers blooming in spring in our area, we usually get plenty of bear photo opportunities.
