#Wildlife Bear in the Bow Valley

Several summers ago in the Canadian Rockies, we were slowly driving down the Bow Valley one morning looking for wildlife ...

... when suddenly my wife said "Stop! There's a bear" 

We quickly backed up, and this is what we saw

It was turning rocks over probably searching for insects 

Here is a short video ...

I wanted to step outside the car to take a better photograph, but my kids wouldn't allow me ☺

"Daaad, you are not stepping out!!"

The faded portion at the bottom of the photograph (below) is the door of the car 

Is the bear staring at me?

Here is a painting I did several weeks later on birch bark
