After a long wait a white bear was spotted in the creek opposite the upper viewing stand which was being used by another group. This is my first glimpse of the Spirit Bear.
After quite some time waiting our guide moved us upstream to try and get better shots of he bear, it eventually moved our way and we were given the choice to either hold our ground and let it pass or to move back to our original positions, we would not be permitted to "parallel" the bear downstream. Because of the angle here which was slightly above the river, I elected to move back downstream to wait for the bear to come to us, there we would be at the same level as we had taken up positions on the bank, not on the stand.
