Hi All,
Our last four days of "work" were dominated by watching and looking for bears. We spent over 20 hours watching black bears along Moose Wilson Rd, keeping people from getting too close and keeping the traffic flowing. It was tiring though exciting.
On Tuesday, a black bear sow with a cub stole a cooler that was next to a woman sitting on the shore of String Lake. We believe this was the same bear that got food from campers earlier in the week. The whole wildlife brigade combed the developed areas looking for this bear, hoping to scare it away before it gets hooked on human food (which would likely be a death sentence).
In addition to all the black bear activity, the Grand Teton celebrity grizzly bear, #399, was seen south of us on the National Elk Refuge.
Here's a photo taken by a refuge volunteer.
