The captain and park ranger spotted this black bear swimming toward an island nearby during
our boat tour to Kettle Falls. We found that it was a young cub after it reached the island.
This was not the first time we saw a bear. However, it definitelt was the first time we
saw a swimming bear and I doubted if we can see another one soon.
Bald Eagle
Seen during the tour. It was too far away and couldn't be seen clearly in the picture.
It was the first time we saw a bald eagle. Correction : it was the first time we saw a dozen
of bald eagles.
Bald Eagle
These pictures were part of the exhibition in the Rainy Lake visitor center.
Original pictures were taken by a park staff in 2002. While boarding a seaplane he
saw these two bald eagles fighting on the water. It was interesting and should be very rare.
I think that the national park should post these pictures in their web site.
Gray Wolf
Exhibition of Kabetogama Lake visitor center. Wolf is rarely seen by human.
