Got one!!!
This little guy was an absolute joy to watch as he practiced the difficult skill of fish juggling. This was shot just as he finally got the fish under control and I swear he deliberately looked at us to say "there, I CAN do it!!"

Another great shot John, I love his satisfied expression ! :D I have enjoyed your bear shots immensely, congratulations on all of them, you obviously had a great time. Please keep them coming.

BTW, that's a nice stable of lenses you have there. How do you find the 120-300, it's on my shopping list ?

Cute catch! Yes, a slippery, squirming salmon would tough to get your paws around.

John, this sequence was certainly one of the best from the trip. You captured well this most endearing image.

Best,
