Things seem a little slow, so I thought I'd post a picture of the Spirit Bear that was photographed in Juneau last year. Legislation was brought up to ban hunting of this type of black bear (though not of the Glacier Bears) in the Juneau area. Not really a Kermode (usually a blondish white) and not really a glacier bear (usually a gray or blue tinted black bear).

Rumor has it this particular bear met its fate this past late fall or early winter in a collision with an automobile.
