Yearling Sheep

There were three yearling sheep licking salt on the road near the turn-off to Shark Mountain.  We also saw a group of young rams and a larger 3/4 curl one near Canmore.  I still haven't seen any lambs, kids, fawns, or calves.  But I know the elk are supposed to be calving.  And there was a report of a bear with her cub in Banff.  The cubs are born in the den, and the females emerge later than the males in the spring.

This weekend we saw and photographed elk, white tail deer, mule deer, big horn sheep, grizzly bear, coyotes, chipmunks, ground squirrels, tree squirrels, and maybe something else.   I need to start photographing and learning the birds here too.
