While many of us ignore these common warning fliers in Yellowstone, sometimes their importance is brought home when the offended bear makes an appearance. One of the two surviving cubs of the famous Quad Grizzly Sow makes short work of the flier, the post, and even the duct tape on Saturday, June 9th on Swan Flats in Yellowstone. A rain cloud has descended in the background. The bears move to the sign was quick and didn't give me time to change lenses.

Nikon D3s, 500mm F4 lens, ISO 1600, f4 at 1/1000 second - about 30 feet away. Bogen Tripod. Raw processed in ACR, CS5.

Excellent catch. A more aggressive vertical crop might be an interesting alternative composition, cropping the left side almost to the edge of the sign, and the right side to between the ears.

The bear obviously knows that actions speak louder than words! :D
