Description
This is the prettiest adult black bear that I encountered on my most recent visit to the Great Smoky Mountains National Park.
He came down from the mountain and was walking through the woods on his way to the berry patch in the Cades Cove meadow when he created the biggest traffic jam I’ve ever been stuck in while in the park.
He is standing on the edge of the woods, waiting to cross the road. I was in the car passing by when I shot this with my 600mm. I'm sure he was frustrated, people were crowding him, and he'd been stuck there for at least an hour...that's how long it took us to get through the traffic jam. We paused when he made a move like he was ready to cross. When he didn't we drove on by and pulled off about 100 yards away and watched from a safe distance.
