Reliable places

It nice to have reliable places to go when you just need a wildlife fix. This day we visited one of our favorite places to view Bighorn Sheep. While reliable some days you only get a glimpse through the binoculars while some days you get a much closer view.

This day the view was almost too close to photograph with the long lens we had attached to the camera as this big Ram moved down a hill and into view.

Anyway we did get a nice view and it looks like this big guy has gotten good use of this horns.

Heading our way

While the big guys with the full curls were somewhere up in the hills above these two teenage Bighorn Sheep descended the hills, made their way through the sage brush, and then headed our direction across the grasslands below. A bit wary, yet curious, they confidently approached little by little.

They had a bit of gleam in their eyes and a look that somehow said they might be looking for trouble.

A couple teenagers with time on their hands and on the prowl.

As they inched by us we each kept our distance and you could certainly see the different personalities reflected in the way they looked us over. The first gave us a head on glance and stood for awhile the second a sideways looks as he steadily marched on through.
