Here are a few images of some critters I’ve seen this month while out birding.
Big Horn Sheep- Males: These guys were such a great treat to see! I also saw Ewes with lambs up higher in the hills, and further west, but the images aren’t good as they were too far out of my lenses range.

Oh so wonderful to see wild horses and bighorn sheep, Deborah. It’s one of the reasons I like birding so much, it takes you out into the field where all kinds of flora and fauna greet you. How very exciting for you!

Thank you so much, Jet! I like birding for the same reasons. In fact I got into birding and wildlife being a landscape photographer. 😃

Thank you, Janet! It was so cool seeing the sheep. I’d only seen them in Montana before but, knew they were here in NV somewhere. Now I know where one band is. 😃

Made me smile with these three. 🙂 In the first photo, the gentleman in the center looks like he’s posing just for you.

I think he was their Sentry. Thank you so much, Judy! They made me smile too. It was more like a nature hike than birding one that morning. It was an amazing gift. 😃

I am always happy to see shots of bighorns and that goes for this one too, Deborah. When your glass isn’t long enough for a more candid portrait you describe the photograph as a “ramscape”. 🙂 Caught in their element.
I once saw “wild” horses (they are actually ponies) on Assateague Island. I used quotes because although they are wild they are also looked after and auctioned off. Your wild Mustangs are truly wild and nice to see.
