“I hate it when I get water in my ears!”

This Black Bear cub gave itself a vigorous shake after a swim in the South Platte River southwest of Denver this afternoon.

Social media provided clues as to where a number of Black Bears had been hanging out and with an early quitting time from work, I just had to go check them out.  Being mid-day the lighting was harsh but it was a lot of fun to spend about 45 minutes with them.

More pics of them to come!
