Bighorn Lamb

The Bighorn Sheep were in an area in Jasper where I don't usually see them, near the turnoff to the Maligne Lake Road. The Ewes were grazing and had obviously shooed several lambs up on the rocks to get some peace.

 

The lambs were full of energy and were quite entertaining for a few minutes, scrambling around on the rocks. I couldn't manage to get a good action shot but did get this lamb isolated, standing up on a ledge.

 

The traffic was awful, including several long haul truckers and the local province tourists, in their monster F-350 diesels. I swear the behavior of the lunatic fringe is getting worse all the time - where are the police to enforce the reduced speed limit zones in known animal areas?
