We have a female Brown Bear...we called her Blondie

Blondie senses Brownie, a big male coming to court!!

That is Thunder Thighs, another huge male; his thighs were so big they shook when he walked; hmmm, two males, one female...what could possibly happen??

Yep, boys will be boys....we watch for a good hour plus these two duke it out!!!

Brownie on the right, Thunder on the left

In the water continuing to fight over Blondie!!

Brownie will start to chase Thunder for over an hour in the water. They swim almost across the channel, ~1-mile

Meanwhile Blondie patiently eats some more grass...it has now been over an hour

That's Thunder coming back from across the 1-mile channel

That's Brownie coming back.....hmmm, who won???

Brownie on the left, Thunder on the right

Thunder moving rather slow!! But, he was the WINNER!!!! He soon followed Blondie into the forest

After a 10 minute rest laying down, Brownie is up and eating

The next morning Thunder and Blondie emerge from the forest to eat along the shoreline!!

This is glacier day.....starting from Russell Island ~9:30am!!

Mount Salisbury in John Hopkins Inlet, >10k'

Yep, we have a huge visitor...will be in several pictures...ugh!!
