Bear!

[Duck Butter]

This was a giant male the guys from University of TN tried to catch to weigh but he was trap shy

The one in a tree was one that was having cubs. They 'hibernate' and give birth during that time

And here are a couple other random pics from that folder


The ducks stack up on the MS River (canvasbacks and scaup) at Tallabena, they wait for the barges to offload corn and eat the scraps. Literally thousands of them, and when I took this pic and looked closer there was a surf scoter (top left) in the pic, kinda unusual for North Louisiana

The gobbler was strutting in the middle of winter

and the other is a random I just saw
