Hey Doug -- good shot but why use such a long lens?  With critters like
these you need to get up in their faces with a wide-angle.  Remember Capa's
famous dictum about getting closer?  Didn't you see Werner Herzog's film
"Grizzly Man?"  Really, they won't hurt you if you hold your breath and look
'em right in the eye.  At least that what I heard somewhere.
