A year later in the same area where I posted previous pics of Grizzly #610 and her cubs. One of those cubs is suspected of being tagged #710 and these recent shots are in the same spot at Oxbow Bend. The other shots are of #399 (#710's mama) and her two cubs are just down the road in Grand teton National Park.

This is a black bear. One way to help id is to look at the ears - black bears have proportionately taller and more pointed ears than a griz. Also the head structure is different and grizzly bears have a more prominent hump. Hope this helps.

Well done nlrela.
I took these last summer with my EOS-M and kit zoom. I was shooting salmon spawning behavior with my housed EOS-1Ds2 camera in the stream below the slope you see in the pic with the bear in the trees. I heard it splash and then saw it climb the slope with the fish. I got one decent shot of it looking towards me after it got done eating. It then walked down to the stream, kept going, crossing the road that is near the stream. I walked the short distance between the stream and road and got the shots of it crossing (I was downstream of the bear). It took 20 minutes for the salmon to resume spawning behavior - all salmon where I was to a 100m or so downstream went into hiding soon after the bear got the salmon.
A few days ago I took some more bear shots within 200m of where I took these (different bears). They are posted in the other bear thread:
