IMG_4829 Desert Bighorn Sheep, Whitewater Preserve, CA

Even in Los Angeles metropolis, you might see bighorn sheep within a 2 hour drive. If fact, the place I shot this herd of bighorn sheep is about 3 miles from interstate I-10 freeway. This place is hot (84F when I saw them) and doesn't look habitable. A herd of 44 desert bighorn sheep just showed up here and made me feel life really finds a way. The year round Whitewater River provides reliable water source and that's why these sheep thrive here.
