Bighorn!

On our way back from the Icefields, we were also lucky enough to view some of the wildlife that is prevalent in the Park. These animals have grown up with the tourists and are really not afraid in any way. The Bighorn Sheep walked within ten feet of the car just after I jumped back in from my camera shoot. They were grazing in my direction and I don't think they liked me getting close.

Most of the good pictures you see are courtesy of Eileen. The Mountain Goats are the only ones I have ever seen in the wild. Most of the animals are loosing their winter coats, and many of them are a little mangy. The elk were this way when we started seeing them last month but they are finished now.

Enjoy the Pic's.
