Ursus americanus
Spotted this guy foraging on plants in a willow riparian area along Cochetopa Creek, September 2010.
This bear was feeding vigorously on the willow, stripping willow stems of leaves, perhaps eating as much as possible before hibernation.

Hi alicelongmartin, I have taken your suggestion and made the second photo first.
I would put your 2nd picture first.
