Description

I was walking westbound on High Marsh Trail, almost where it crosses the West Fork Swede George Creek. I first heard loud rustling, below by the creek dry bed. I couldn't figure out what that could be so I took out my phone, then the bear came out from under some branches by the creek bed. I took a few pictures and a short video. The bear walked a few feet where I could see it, then it turned around and went back under the branches. It didn't seem to care I was there, even though I was chanting some mantras (I'm a Buddhist). The pictures are not great, we just see its backside but on the video one can see clearly it's a bear.

Rather incidental and coincidental that my camera was handy. Ran under a fence, across the road I was driving, ran a bit more, paused and continued running till out of sight.

Subspecific ID based on being within 3 miles of a genetic sample site and reasonably north of the detailed hybrid zone (Sacks et al. 2010, https://doi.org/10.1007/s10592-010-0053-4; Sacks et al. tech report, http://mecu.faculty.ucdavis.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/491/2017/11/The-Native-Sacramento-ValleyRedFox_2010.pdf; Sacks et al. 2011, http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/j.1365-294X.2010.04943.x; Black et al. 2018, https://doi.org/10.1002/jwmg.21556).

Description

Lucked out and spotted this mama bear and her uniquely-colored cub heading downhill for a drink in one of the few remaining pools of water in the local creek. The sow is mostly black with an auburn tinge, while her cub has a light-brownish "honey blonde" outer coat with a cinnamon-brown color underneath. First bears that I have been able to photograph in this area in about 20+ years; they are always too far away or too fast for me to get good photos. Private Property - No Public Access.
