A few days with desert bighorn.

I had hoped to spend many days with a couple different populations but the monsoon rains coming early spoiled my plans.  I still may try in August.  I say that because the best time to get desert bighorn shots is during the hot summer when they are forced to come to water.  I have 2 places I like to go, one a river the other a lake where I can cover a lot of territory in a boat.  It's just too hot and I'm too old to try and go chase them through bighorn habitat with all that gear and temps in the 120's near the rocks these guys live in. As usual, I've got some bighorn natural history on the captions on the photos below.  I hope you enjoy the images and the information.
