Thanks @dancingwoman for posting the beautiful pics.  Love seeing the sheep that aren't in my area of the US and always love seeing herons.  We have quite a few in the ponds around our location in upstate SC.  The US is so diverse in it's precious wildlife.

The sheep are awesome.

The heron? You must live in paradise....

Heaven.

@dancingwoman   When we were in Jasper NP in Alberta, one of these shy and elusive big horn sheep, an ewe, came over to our car, balanced on her back legs and begged at the driver's window.  That's sad that people feed these creatures.

@Kachina624  I know.  Here in Colorado it's against the law to feed the wild animals... Is it that way in New Mexico too?  DW

@dancingwoman   I don't know.  I've tried to call NM State Fish and Game several times with questions and have never been able to get through to a person.  Apparently they are also shy and elusive.

No herons for me thank you.  I have a pond with beloved fish. Lol. Ok to see in photos tho.

@Kachina624  LOL Yeah it's hard to get someone here in Colorado on the phone too. DW
