They've had seven months of sleep, but now the world's largest population of unhunted brown bears are ready for the sun. They begin the morning in the meadow, playfully mating and grazing on the high protein tidal sedge. A bounding three year-old searches for Mom. The sun rises. The tide drops, Clam flats and the first tasty salmon of the season are revealed. Bears stake out their spot on the beach. Two males posture with the cowboy walk. The cubs claws grip and nurse for mom's high-fat milk. Adolescents chase each other at 35 mph for miles. Sleep lies distant.
