Anan Creek live camera – Anan Creek bear cam: lower falls and caves

What you are looking at
Explore.org streams this bear cam from Anan Creek in southeast Alaska, through an agreement with the Tongass National Forest. The camera looks at the lower falls and the rocky caves along the creek near the Anan Wildlife Observatory, south of Wrangell, where both black bears and brown bears come to fish for salmon.
Bears start arriving in June, and the busiest weeks are in July and August, when the salmon crowd into the creek. You may watch bears fishing from the banks or wading into the water, jostling for favorite rocks, and even waiting in the caves for fish to swim by. Explore.org notes that bears have been seen as early as spring and as late as October. Bald eagles, ravens, crows and river otters often join the feast, and wolves have been seen a few times over the years.
The feed plays as live video on YouTube, mostly during the summer season. Anan is in Alaska time, four hours behind the US East Coast. A practical tip: watch for mothers with cubs, which often use the quieter edges of the falls while the big adult bears hold the best fishing spots.
