The bears have taken the field on the volleyball court, and appear to have won by forfeit.
These bears have been seen in the housing area for just over a week, and the rangers are trying to discourage them from hanging around there with methods ranging from shouting to slapping the sow with a bean bag from a shotgun. So far, they keep coming back. They're not causing trouble, but the thought that they might - and bear management directives in the park - makes getting them to move on the priority.
This picture is just for those who think I only ever put pictures of myself in life-threatening situations on the internet. My life was not being threatened by the bear with cubs a few yards away in the tree.

Update: These bears are all dead now, after getting into a St. Mary Lodge employees' dormitory. Obviously, they do not have the discipline the National Park Service has when it comes to bear-proofing facilities to keep the bears out of trouble. The bears were all shot by a warden on the Blackfeet Reservation. I propose not doing business with the St. Mary Lodge in order to send a message.
He killed the cubs and their mother?
All three.
