Great post to raise awareness about the threat to critical habitat of those beautiful bighorn sheep! Found your blog at the Carnival of the Arid.

Great post Larry,

As if the Sunrise PowerLink wasn’t enough. :-(
Now the Bighorn have to worry about their land being taken away by a governent agency that is suppose to protect them.
When is enough a enough?

I will use your link to submit a comment and put some info on my website.

Hi Gidon,

Thanks for commenting, and thanks for writing to the agency.

As I understand it, the agency was originally responding to a lawsuit against the critical habitat brought by several groups, but now have gone way overboard and are trying to de-designate many more acres than the lawsuits called for.

Those are actually Grand Canyon bighorn. I’ve overused my shots of the Borrego Palm Canyon bighorn.

I’m jealous about your Mt. Russell climb, have fun (and don’t get caught in any freak fall storms!).

Larry
I sent in a letter today, using your talking points and some of my words. Why is US Fish&Wildlife Service taking this stance?

Where were your bighorn shots taken?
San Gorgonio environs?

Your close up shot shows a lot of detail of the horns, nice.

regards Gidon

ps climbing Mt. Russell & checking out Lake Tulainyo next week to catch the autumn colors.
