Even though the salmon runs had not quite started, this sow still managed to catch a few pink salmon, silver salmon and starry flounder. Common foods for brown bears include salmon, clams, berries, grasses, sedges, cow parsnip, ground squirrels, carrion and roots. Brown bears in the Silver Salmon Creek area have large sedge grass meadows to feed in. They consume 30 roughly pounds of sedge grass a day as they await the annual arrival of salmon to Silver Salmon Creek.
