Coastal Brown (Grizzly) Bear Slamming Salmon

Christopher Dodds September 28, 2023

We had some of the most epic bear encounters during my recently concluded ULTIMATE BROWN BEARS of KATMAI SALMON FISHING WORKSHOP. This image was made from the river's edge, with my Sony Alpha 1 and Sony 600mm f/4 lens on the ground and the screen tilted up. Everyone got more images of fishing bears than they imagined possible, and the weather was “Alaskan Awesome” with a mix of everything!

Coyote Pouncing on Prey

Christopher Dodds January 6, 2022

This is the same male Coyote as in my last post with the image of the playful Coyotes. My group had some great opportunities of him hunting meadow voles during my Best of Bosque workshop.

Coyotes catch mouse-sized rodents by pouncing, whereas ground squirrels are chased. Recent research suggests that Coyotes depend on their vision more than their sense of smell to hunt. Unlike the wolf, which attacks large prey from the rear, the coyote approaches from the front, lacerating its prey's head and throat.
