      @matthirt7863  Před 3 lety

      @@madwestboy good point! I think being this close allows them to pick scraps from the water before they get swept away...and since the bear is lying down they probably feel they would have time to fly off if he jumped to his feet trying to chase them.
      I also think those birds have probably learned that the bears much prefer to eat the salmon which are easier to catch and full of protein and fat...instead of them!

      Normally early in the year (June/July) they eat the whole fish cause they are super hungry...in August/September they often just eat skin and brains cause those parts contain the most fat. The more fat they consume in the fall, the better prepared they are for hibernation.
