Sitka trailcam photographer Hugh Bevan caught another striking image at a place not far from Sitka he calls “Scary Creek”: a sow and her two cubs taking an evening stroll toward the beach to dine on spawning pink salmon. Bevan’s cam, one of several he maintains around Sitka, snapped this picture at 6 PM on August 7, 2014, about 10 miles south of town. While most Sitkans understand that there’s nothing particularly scary about bears in their natural setting, the fact that this little stream is frequented by such impressive animals is something to think about!
