Bighorn Sheep

Ovis canadensis

Notes:

Finally! After almost a year of trying to find bighorn sheep, I finally found a small heard that had moved into lower elevation due to the rut and changing tempatures! The weather quickly turned from sun to snow but it was wonderful watching these sentinels of the Rocky Mountains!

Thanks Gary! I have been itching to photograph these guys for a while. Not the best shots but at least I got some!
