A still image from Hugh Bevan’s video “Good Memories,” a highlight reel of 5 years of trailcam video of bears around Sitka.

Trailcam videographer Hugh Bevan has a knack for reminding us that spring is not just about herring and sunshine — local brown bears are perking up. In this “highlight reel” from the past five years, Bevan captures bears at their best: Roaming the wild country around Sitka completely undisturbed by the concealed trailcam. All these animals, Bevan says, were filmed within 10 miles of town.
