This morning, it was obvious that the energetic pace of the last few days finally got us beat. With the sky full of heavy clouds and a forecast of rain showers, it was decided to have a much slower day and take a gentle drive around the local area, and avoid hiking trails or the occasional temptation to climb a rocky hillside.
With that decision made, we drove to Patricia Lake located just a couple of kilometres outside Jasper and then to Talbot Lake, a popular location for anglers looking to catch Northern Pike.
On the way back from Patricia Lake we had the good fortune to observe a Black Bear out for a Sunday morning wander, unfortunately he did not seem very interested in giving me that perfect photo.
Finally, to fill up space at the end, some pics of local wildflowers ….
Are black bears hungry this time of year ? Are they meat eaters ?
ReplyDeleteI would say Black Bears are hungry all the time ….
DeleteThey are omnivorous, meaning they will eat a variety of things, including both plants and meat. Their diet includes roots, berries, meat, fish, insects, larvae, grass, and other succulent plants.
