Bears and Birds in Alaska - a photo on Flickriver

            This was taken in the wild. The only thing between this lovely family and me was my Nikon. I was with a guide and a few other tourists. We were approximately 40 feet from the bears. The bears were eating grass and clams. The mother would dig up the clam at the shore line and eat the entire clam, shell and all.
