5-27. Grizzly Bear at Hayden Valley in Fall
Figure 5-27.1: 馬路邊不遠處的一隻grizzly bear。
Figure 5-27.2: 這也許算是grizzly bear的秋裝，整隻毛茸茸的。
Figure 5-27.3: 看起來肥滋滋的，整個夏天想必吃得不錯，撐過冬眠應該不成問題。
Figure 5-27.4: 從我到現場大約看了這隻grizzly bear(圖右偏上方一點)卅分鐘，這時正要開始離去。
Hayden Valley是公園裡很常看到grizzly bear的地方之一，常常在開車的過程中在這區域看到一堆人望向遠方，大都是在看這兇猛性野獸。由於之前已經近距離看過不少次grizzly bear，對還在遠方的動物興趣缺缺，大都直接開過不看。其實在現場等也可能是對的，因為熊有可能在不久後到馬路邊讓你近距離欣賞，但當然也可能一直待在遠方，就看你願不願意花時間睹這一把。
這天就跟往常一樣，看到路邊已經停了一堆車，但同時看到不遠處的一隻grizzly bear，決定馬上找停車位加入這群眾運動。就我自己的觀察，這熊離馬路最近的時候可能不到50 yard，離公園規定的100 yard少了一半，不過在現場維持秩序的ranger並沒有要圍觀群眾退後，那大家自然也就不客氣待在原處觀賞。
就體型來看，我覺得是一隻subadult。這時已經是十月初的秋天，整隻看起來肥滋滋的，顯然在夏天進補得相當不錯，順利度過冬眠應該不成問題。雖然看起來很肥，動作倒是很敏捷而且移動迅速，不時挖地找東西吃，算是很典型看到的grizzly bear動作。
因為才在一年前的Hayden Valley看到一隻類似年紀的grizzly bear，如[5-24. Grizzly Bear vs Bison at Hayden Valley]所述，直覺有可能是同一隻，但無法證實。不過可以比較一下七月跟十月在體型上的不同，這次十月看到的版本顯然既胖也壯很多。
這次主要時間都用來拍影片，只在空檔稍微按個快門照幾張相。這隻grizzly bear可說是相當合作，一直待在不遠且差不多的地方活動，當時在現場的遊客可說是賺翻了。當時的陰天天氣也幫了不少忙，這時太陽露出臉的話會是逆光，對拍攝相當不利。
