Bighorn Sheep

Bighorn Ram, Yellowstone National Park

This is a photo of a bighorn sheep ram on the McMinn Bench at Mount Everts, Yellowstone National Park.

I haven’t been to Yellowstone for several years and planned to go this year until the big flood occurred.  One reason I wanted to go was to get more photos of bighorn sheep.  I don’t have many decent photos of them on my website.  The other day I decided to look through the photos I do have to see if I could find any that I thought were worth putting on my site.  After looking around, I decided to add the photo above and a couple of others.  It was shot in November of 2005 with an 8MP Canon 20D.

I photographed this ram near the Yellowstone River picnic area on the road to Cooke City.  This area and the area where the last photo of the lamb was shot, the Gardner River Canyon, are two of the best places in the park to see bighorn sheep.
