Black Bear of Glacier National ParkOne of the most exciting moments of our Glacier National Park trip happened when we came across this lone black bear feeding on wildflowers along St. Mary Lake in East Glacier. It was our only bear sighting of the entire trip, and we quickly understood why several cars had pulled over as we approached. There, just beyond the road, was a beautiful black bear completely focused on breakfast. A ranger was already on site, directing traffic, showing people where to park, and sharing details about the bear.
We stayed safely inside the car while the bear calmly went about its morning, completely unfazed by all the attention. I was incredibly thankful for the long lens I rented, which allowed me to capture these moments without disturbing it. The morning light and flowers made photography challenging, with stems constantly popping up between me and the bear, but somehow that only made getting a clear image feel even more rewarding.
These are my first wild bear photographs, and what an incredible way to start! Someday, I’d love to photograph brown bears feeding on salmon.
