We are so lucky to have Mike Fitz as a Maine resident. His work, however, is in Alaska. A former National Park Service ranger at Katmai and several other national parks, he is a distinguished expert in the natural history and ecology of Brooks River, particularly the river's brown bears. 
 
The Bears of Brooks Falls: Wildlife and Survival on Alaska’s Brooks River is an exploration of brown bears and salmon in one of the Earth’s last fully intact ecosystems. It’s an honest and deep dive into issues surrounding the role people play in the riverscape and Katmai National Park. Written in three parts, this book explores the ecossytems and lives of these bears in a first - hand account from Mike himself.
