I shot this in Minnesota last spring.
It looks like the bear is waiting for a menu.
No this is not a tame bear trained to do this. This is a wild bear, not enclosed in any manner!

A couple of the images I got in shooting Minnesota last week. 2 parent foxes and this years crop of kit’s
Got up extra early to take two flights. One from Wausau to Minneapolis and then one to Kalispell. The Wausau Delta people were too inept to issue a boarding pass so I had to drive(yes in the pouring snow) to Minneapolis. But I’m on board now so all is good

I was able to spend alot of time last winter photographing the herons and egrets of South Florida.
I finally narrowed it down to 2 images, one of a Great Heron and one of a Snowy Egret that I have matted and framed for Gallery shows.
Outstanding shooting though

Back from shooting 3 days in Bosque del Apache near Socorro New Mexico. Lots of snow geese too and a great chance to use the Canon 600mm IS lens. Actually used it hand held for a few shots. Seriously made my shoulder hurt by the end of the day. Awesome lens though!
