For the first time since 1996, expert biologists have confirmed a grizzly bear sighting in the North Cacades! The confirmation was based on photographs (including the one shown below) taken by a hiker, who was compelled to share the images with authorities. This is a very exciting development as we prepare to continue our bear surveys in the North Cascades this summer.

Read the story in the July 1, 2011 issue of the Seattle Times.
