Jenny, just to see a Kermode from afar is something but based on your focal length you had a much closer encounter. Of course the D4S is able to handle the higher ISO. Nicely edited, love it, congrats.
The Great Bear Rainforest is the home of the Kermode or Spirit Bear. A true black bear with a recessive gene (like blue eyes) He is watching the side of the Riordan Creek on Gribble Island for a salmon taking a rest.
