A wildlife version of Elf on the Shelf? 😉 

While observing a few bighorn sheep rams, I kept hearing the bleating of another somewhere in the distance. A friend finally spotted the big boy, way up high on the side of the canyon wall across the river.

It stopped its decent briefly, surveying the situation below, seeming to debate whether it was going to come challenge the other rams or not. It did indeed come down, cross the river, and meet up with his buddies.

Unfortunately there were no big battles on this day but it was still a nice outing with lots of captures of Colorado’s official state animal.
