Zion National Park
Springdale, Utah 10-15-12
Zion National Park 2012 series
From the length and shape of the horns, I am assuming that this is a female Desert Bighorn Sheep . Ovis canadensis nelsoni is a subspecies of Bighorn Sheep that lives in the southwestern United States.

This photoblog is my nature journal and travelogue. Many of my wildlife images were made in environments impacted by humans. My goal is to feature each animal in a way that allows the viewer to sense the essence of its life in the wild. The purpose of the accompanying narratives is to enhance awareness and appreciation of our natural world, as well as to inspire everyone to protect and care for it.
