Correct: It is the Desert Bighorn Sheep
When we first saw the sheep, they were next to the highway and not in the park where they often are. There were cars stopping for people to see them and take their pictures. Then, a black, dark tinted windowed car with a dashboard siren and light came and slowly drove near the sheep, honking his siren so that they would move away from the highway and back up to the park where they spend September. It was one of those "Only in Nevada" moments..."Only in Nevada do Bighorn Sheep get herded by an undercover shepherd in a Crown Victoria."
Devin with Lake Mead in the distance. Devin went water skiing for the first time a few weeks back and loved the lake. He has been begging for our family to buy a boat ever since. Not gonna happen.
Me in front of the park in Boulder City where the Sheep hang out. Funny thing about the park this Saturday. There was a group of folks there
Look at this guy's horns! Beautiful.
If you have the time, take the kids out to Boulder City to see the Desert Bighorn Sheep. They totally ignore the people watching them and it is a beautiful way to spend a few hours viewing some majestic animals.
Home Means Nevada to Me.

Cool! We need to this. Thanks for the reminder. What a bonus that you got to see the undercover shepherd in the Crown Victoria.
I like your "Only in Nevada Moments." I wore my Valley Viking shirt to school today - the one I bought from Valley when my friend, Michele, and I went to Vegas a couple years ago.
How fun! I love to watch all kinds of animals; most of them are very peaceful.
And what a great way to spend time with your son!
