Rock Hopper

April 23, 2024  •  Leave a Comment

This young male Bighorn Sheep was on fire shortly after sunrise - running and jumping effortlessly from rock to rock on this steep hillside. I noticed 3 females nearby and it looked as though he was trying to corral them but I couldn't understand why. It wasn't until 10 minutes later that I saw a heard of 5 large male bighorns below him. He was fairly small in comparison to them so I imagine he was thinking, "I've worked too hard to get this far and let you guys take these ladies away from me!"
