This mama bear and cub were our first Cove bear sighting. |
|
It was almost dusk when we spotted this one settling in for a nap, high up in the fork of a tree east of Cades Cove |
|
Mama and three cubs were in this field at mid-day. (The 3rd cub was lagging behind, playing...) They crossed the road and headed into the woods. |

The remaining pics are of a few bears feeding in trees in the early evening. The lighting was not optimal; had to shoot into the setting sun... |
