Black Bear

All Black Bear (Urus americanus) images were photographed at Vince Shute Wildlife
Sanctuary near Orr, MN. This is one of the best places in North America to photograph Wild Black Bears in their native habitat. For the last 16 years I have been conducting three day photography workshops, go to Photo Classes on the navigation bar for more information on these workshops.
