Young bighorn ram

Young bighorn ram
Probably a desert bighorn, Ovis canadensis nelsoni. On the road between Empire and Sulphur, Nevada, south of the Black Rock Desert in northern Nevada and a bit east of Trego Hot Springs. This is an unusual occurrence! Maybe this guy is still trying to find a territory. In any case, we were delighted to see him. The insert shows another view as he decided to move away.

Andy, Pam, Janet, thanks! It was an unusual sighting--we were very lucky. Lots of the bighorn populations locally have been devastated by domestic sheep diseases.
