Jack, thanks for looking. if you look closely you'll see this is a young sow. She may have lost a cub because I watched her for a good hour and she moved a 1/2 mile up over a ridge and I never saw any indication of cubs about.

Not sure what to look for in that regard. Is she losing her winter coat here or is that an indication of her age? Also I assume she's a brown bear...grizzly? Only have black bears here AFAIK.

I was about 40yards up hill standing at the top of a small 8-10ft rock outcropping, about 20ft from my van with an open door.
I watched her for about 20 minutes as she worked her way up hill. I was up wind so she didn't know I was their until she heard the shutter cycling on my camera. she moved off to the left 60-70yds and crossed the road continuing up hill into some heavy timber.

I can't say for certain about her coat. She is a cinnamon colored black bear. Grizzlies typically have more of a round face with short round ears and a hump above the shoulders. Grizzlies can also be black. A couple years back there was a large black grizzly hanging out in he Slough Creek area of Yellowstone.
The female indicator is right there under her belly.

Yep I see it now. And thanks for the info about bears.
