At 15:16 (after the live chat ended) Ranger Russ commented that he had mis-identified that sow, and the sow was in fact 708 Amelia that was observed wtih 151 Walker .' KNP&P Facebook Live

Live Chat with Mike Fitz and Ranger Russ Taylor from the Riffles Wildlife Viewing Platform, Topic:  The Bear Hierarchy, July 9, 2018 at 10:00:
Bears live in a competitive world where size and disposition dictate who has access to the best fishing spots. Join explore.orgfellow Mike Fitz and Katmai ranger Russ Taylor as they discuss the bear hierarchy at Brooks Falls. A hierarchy helps bears avoid most physical conflict, but in some ways, living at the top can be almost as rough as living at the bottom.

Live Chat, Bear Fishing Styles. July 10, 2018 14:00:
Brooks River's bears demonstrate a variety of fishing styles. Some are specialists, focusing on only one fishing spot at Brooks Falls. Others have mastered fishing in a few choice locations. A few are jacks-of-all-trades and can fish successfully nearly anywhere. The time of year, the availability of salmon, and competition from other bears dictate when and where bears fish.

The Brown Bears of Alaska are back live on explore! To celebrate the occasion, Rangers Roy Wood and Mike Fitz of Katmai National Park want to welcome you to a whole new Bear Cam season with a live chat.

Hundreds of brown bears have woken up after months of hibernation to catch and feast upon the millions of salmon in the waterfalls of Brooks River. Wheather you're new to the Brown Bear Cams or a seasoned viewer, join the live chat by asking Ranger Roy and Mike about the brown bear basics such as diet, life-cycles, mating, and fishing techniques. And for returning viewers, the rangers also popped into the Brooks Falls Cam comments section to talk gossip about the indivudual bears that fish around Brooks Camp.

The Iliuk Moraine, a breached terminal glacial moraine that can be seen from the lower river and Dumpling Mountain cams was also discussed. Ranger Mike then provides a view of the Bristol Bay Lowlands and discusses the glacial sediments of the Alaska Peninsula. Sharing close up views of a rock on Dumpling Mountain, Ranger Mike discusses the Jurassic Age. He then moves on to the alpine tundra and the plants found where he is doing the live chat from on Dumpling Mountain, showing close-up views of black crowberries and blueberries and discusses the arctic ground squirrels. Ranger Mike shares how the bears will come up to Dumpling Mountain, Mount Brooks, or Mount Kelez to eat the crowberries and then carried the seeds in their stomach after which the seeds can be discovered in the bear scat down by Brooks River where the crowberries do not grow. The birds that can be observed on Dumpling Mountain like rock ptarmigan , willow ptarmigan , lapland longspurs , snow buntings , robins, and sparrows were discussed. Ranger Mike also mentions how caribou can sometimes wander up on to Dumpling Mountain (41:17 & 57:56). Early season plant growth like alpine azalea was a topic that came up when answering a viewer question. along with how blooming continues and ends from June to August, and the climate impacts on insects and bumble bees that pollinate the plants. Poisonous plants found in the area are also discussed. Soils were discussed that prompted the topic of ash from the impact of the 1912 eruption of Novarupta. The Good Friday 1964 earthquake in Alaska was discussed regarding it's effects on the Katmai region and the wildlife that call it home. The sedimentary rocks, mixtures of sandstones and conglomerates at Brooks Falls were discussed. Grazing animals were the topic of a viewer questions. The wind strength on top of Dumpling Mountain was the subject of another viewer question which led to the 2014 radio repeater wind damage on top of Dumpling Mountain and the 89 mile per hour winds recorded at Brooks Camp this season. Ranger Mike discussed bear denning habitat and survival adaptations of animals in the area. The solace wilderness can provide was discussed.
