Nature photographer Robert Martinez spent three years hoping to capture a brown bear taking a nap in front of his camera, something he finally achieved this month.
Wilford the Bear was caught on Martinez’s camera trap lounging for a full four hours in National Forest as he dug himself a bed and took a nap.
“I know he travels through this canyon on the pathway, so I moved my camera right under a nice clearing where are there some stomp marks from the bears, as well as mountain lion scrapes,” Martinez tells CBS.
“So I knew the animals would come by and probably leave their mark in one way or another, but I did not know Wilford would make a bed and lay right in front of my camera.”
Martinez uses Browning Recon Force series trail cameras that have 20 megapixel sensors and record in 4K.
Martinez explained in a Facebook post that he discovered Wilford’s bed the day after he was using it and “thought how cool it would be to capture him bedding down on camera someday.”
He has been watching this bear for three years, Wilford comes to the area every few months and Martinez has been hoping h would capture a video like this of him for a long time. Read More...
