Glacier National Park - 8/5/11 (Big Horn Sheep)

After we were don e shooting we assumed our rightful place at the head of the line to continue up Going-To-The-Sun Road to the Logan Pass visitors center. When we arrived I was thrilled to see a small herd of Big Horn Sheep right there in the parking area. Surprisingly, one of the big males was munching away on cardboard that was in this construction area. We walked right up to within 20 feet of them.


Out of my field of view there was apparently a marmot that scared one of the younger sheep and they all bolted for up the hill. I kind of like the action feel of this shot (though I could live without the pallet in it!)

This is the bog bo that was eating the cardboard - after the marmot scared all of these I think he really wanted to come back for more cardboard!

They kept going further and further up the mountain.




I like this shot because the one was rearing up and head slamming the other. It really is as loud as they say on the nature shows!
