July 2022:[]
361 appears on the list of Bears Monitored in July 2022.
2022.07.07: NWBEARLOVE92 (aka Amy Incillo) shared four 7/7/2022 photos of a sow on 2/17/2023, #1, #2, #3 and #4. "ID help please. Any thoughts on this bear? The bear appeared at the falls on 7/7/22. They seemed familiar with the area. I think it’s likely a sow based on size/appearance."
Discussion by Chatters thought this was newly identified sow 361 who some think is actually 273. If this is 273, this will be her fourth identitification number. She was misidentified as 198 in 2010 and 256 in 2016 (in the 2016 Bears Of Brooks River eBook). A bear's appearance can change from year to year.
