This is the mating season for California Desert Bighorn Sheep. It is the only time you will see rams and ewes together. The rest of the year, the ewes and their offspring are in one place and the rams have a gentleman’s club elsewhere.
This day, the three rams were busy trying to mount ewes. The oldest ram seemed to have more energy for fighting than mating. The juveniles stay out of the way. I believe we were about 7,000’ up in a canyon east of Bishop. these photographs were takes with a Sony A9 and the 200-600mm Sony lens.
