Bighorn Sheep were reintroduced into the Wind River Canyon ecosystem twenty-one years ago, and they have been prolific.  They thrive in this fire and ice environment here in central Wyoming, where temperatures range from 105 in mid-summer to 30 below with winds that will make your fingertips blue in minutes!  As I've written before about these magical creatures, Bighorn Sheep are not at all easy to find, especially if you really want to.  Only thirteen days ago I spent the afternoon with a family of ten Bighorn, and it was a real rush; as it always is.  This time I was determined to put together a short-video about one of everyone's favorite Wind River Canyon mystery.

     Nothing like this short-video documentary of the Bighorn Sheep in the Wind River Canyon has ever been put together before, and for good reason.  They're here or they're not, and you cannot just go out to see them for yourselves.  I've spent uncounted hours hoping to photograph them, and to no avail, then all of a sudden they're here!  I had a dozen videos to cull for the four shots in this 50 second video.  No added doofus music or special effects, just the Bighorn making their trek through the Wind River Canyon and the landslides of last Spring.  Enough of my dribble.....here are a family of Bighorn Sheep in one of Wyoming's most beautiful canyons.   Bighorn Sheep in the Wind River Canyon VideoBighorn Sheep in the Wind River Canyon Video from Wyoming.      For more videos and award-winning hummingbird & wildlife photography visit my website HogbatsPhotography.com.  All the writing and photography of the Wind River Canyon Blog by Michael John Balog - Wind River Canyon, Wyoming.
