This is a good time to be in Yellowstone to see bear cubs. While I enjoy photographing all cubs, the spring cubs, also known as cubs of the year, or “COYs,” are the cutest. Spring cubs are tiny. How tiny? I think of them as footballs with legs.
A black bear sow and her spring cub take a rest near Calcite Springs. I saw them several times in mid May between Calcite Springs and Tower Falls. I wonder if the sow is a descendant of that well-known and much-loved bear known as “Rosie”?
