"ROCKY MOUNTAIN NURSERIES"

Rocky Mountain Sheep (Ewes & Juveniles) - 6 Photos

(Kananaskis, Alberta, CA)

Two separate sightings of Rocky Mountain Sheep in nursery herds. The rams, no doubt, are on much higher ground battling out for "King of the Mountain".

The sheep in Photo #4, #5 and #6 were clustered on a rather steep cliff with overhanging edges. A group of ravens close by were diving at the young lambs, which is why there an intensity in their looks and gazing. Can only surmise they were trying to send a youngster tumbling down the jagged cliff. Soon thereafter, the herd of sheep moved from the edges to a flatter meadow further up in amongst the trees.
