About this cam

Right in the middle of bear country.

Perched above Brooks Falls in Katmai National Park, Alaska, this camera captures brown bears fishing for salmon in one of the richest wildlife viewing spots on Earth. The action peaks in July, when sockeye salmon run upstream and bears gather to fish — some days you’ll spot a dozen or more. Grab a coffee and drop into chat with fellow wildlife watchers while you wait for the next big catch.

Best time to watch

Summer is salmon season.

July is prime time at Brooks Falls, with bears gathering around the river as sockeye salmon move upstream. The seasonal camera generally runs from mid-June into mid-October.
