Ram Happy
From the archives - of my drive from Maryland to Alaska.
I initially drove past several Stone Sheep on my way to Lake Watson from Fort Saint John in British Columbia near Summit Lake. I had to stop and ready my camera gear before driving back to capture images of them. This ram I found a bit later up the road when I saw movement above the road and stopped to capture his image. He gave me some great looks on an outcropping of rock a bit above the roadway, not down near the road, where I had found the previous sheep. Definitely, nicer to get him with a more natural background. Also, I can see that he's shedding his winter coat and preparing for the spring.
It was interesting to find out later that these are rare wild sheep as they are found only in British Columbia and in the Yukon. How fortunate I was to capture some nice images of them!
Taken 14 June 2017 on the Alaska Highway from Ft. Nelson to Watson Lake, Canada.
