They were the first Ovis canadensis I'd seen in the wild. It was May 12, 2012 and a herd was moving adjacent to a highway in Oregon. There were many bulls in the herd and this fellow meandered close enough to make a nice photo in the high light of the mid-day sun. Readers will be glad to know that I have arrived back home in Canada. That being said, I now have access to my old photo archives so pictures can go far back. This one is just from last year.
