Don't have any photos readily available but Sandi and I have been fortunate in our outings to have seen some of Big Bend's interesting wildlife. The Big Horn Sheep we saw near Dog Canyon were special. The photos are on the last post. This past week we hiked Persimmon Draw and were fortunate to see a herd of Barbary Sheep (Aoudad). There were five of them -- relatively far off in the distance but they sure watched us. They were about 700 yards away which is too far for my camera to get a good photo. Maybe the next time. Park Service rangers acknowledge that seeing either of these animals is a rare sighting so I guess we were really lucky. Hope our luck holds out and I get a look at a Mountain Lion.
this evening we ate at the Lodge in the Chisos Basin with our new friends Russ and Gretchen, We are all fulltimers and volunteers at Big Bend. Russ is also USAF (ret) and tonight was a celebration of Gretchen's birthday. Most enjoyable evening.
