Bighorn sheep lambs get the zoomies

Those dang, kids!

Watching the bighorn sheep this past weekend was fun, as always. I followed a few rams as they worked their way down the canyon toward a herd of ewes and kids. While the adult males engaged the females, looking for love, the kids were left unsupervised and became very rambunctious.

I was focused on the adults when suddenly, a half dozen kids came bounding down the mountain and up the road right at me! I quickly ran to the side to get out of the way, snapping pictures as I went. I figured if I was going to get run over, I might as well document the event. 😉 

In the end, any collision was avoided as the young ones ran right by and back up the side chasing each other. The fun and joy they seemed to be having running and playing was heart-warming and a great thing to see.
