Family Of The Forest


Family Of The Forest, originally uploaded by Uncommon Depth.

One of the interesting things about Bighorn Sheep is that they have fairly small home ranges - at least the ewes do. So once you know a location you can pretty much go there any time and find them. I know of at least 3 different flocks around here - there are probably more. What I don't know is where the rams go in summer. I usually only see the big rams in the fall and winter.

Little Cutie

I don't mind seeing the ewes and lambs in summer though. Especially when they are willing to pose so nicely for the camera! What a cutie, hey?
