Sows and Cubs

We went zipping by this sow bear and her 3 cubs the other day on the way home from the City. Papa swung around so we could get a better look. She had 2 black cubs and a brown cub. You can see the brown one in the middle of the picture. She is off to the right a bit. 

Here is a better picture of her but the cubs were all hiding in the top area there. 

Several weeks later I saw another black bear with 3 black cubs racing along a lake about 10 minutes drive from this area. Apparently some one else has seen a sow with 2 brown cubs and 1 black cub near this area too!! Must be a good year for black bears!!
