Bears at Katmai

[AkSusan]

Not sure if anyone has posted this yet, this year, but, the webcams at Brooks Falls at Katmai National Park - Alaska are up and running -

Currently, no bears, but, if you look real close you can see salmon jumping -

Oh, the bears are definitely there! Just have to be patient while watching the webcam feed. You can also "scroll back" (using the red bar at the bottom) to re-run the feed from earlier.

Someome somewhere did post this a couple of weeks ago. I love it! Just in the last week I've seen 5 bears at the same time.

 

If you scroll down to the bottom you'll see the friendly bear cam chat community commenting.

The cams have been up for over a week. Some days you see tons of salmon (like today) and sometimes you don't see any jump. The Bears are incredible to watch. They all have their own methods of fishing. I keep the one cam going on my second computer at work and now I have our whole department watching the bears.

I am so happy you posted this. I won't be sailing to Alaska until September (last cruise of the season for NCL Jewel). I can't stop watching this website. There are constantly bears on, in, and below the falls. Looked a few minutes ago, there were six! Thank you for sharing.

Yes, thank you. I did not know this existed! Wonderful to watch.

If you have the time, go to the video section and watch some of the ranger talks. I've learned a lot about the bears, salmon runs, and the park.

If any of you have the time to visit Katmai during the salmon run, it's a fascinating experience. We flew from Anchorage. We did it a few years ago, and although it was incredibly expensive, it was worth every penny. We stayed there two nights and had plenty of time to watch the bears, and also took the trip to land of a thousand smokes. Katmai was one of many highlights of that trip.

On one of the live feeds a few weeks ago, I could see fishermen on the gravel bar and a float plane coming to get them. All the while, bears are swimming by!
