As I have said many times, Bighorn Sheep are among my favorite mammals to photograph. The Rocky Mountain Bighorns that we encountered in Yellowstone a few weeks ago were delightful to watch, especially the rams as they tried to interest the ewes and, when rebuffed, they went back to grazing as if that’s all they intended in the first place. They ventured fairly close to us as they munched on the grasses and when I attached the 1.4X teleconverter to my new Z600mmPF lens, I got really up close and personal photographs. I especially love that he’s looking right into my lens.
