Dave,

Thanks for the positive feedback. I have walked many miles out in the desert looking and tracking these guys, but in my experience they never let you get very close. Not like the rather tame Big Horns up at Glacier Park. Luckily I live close to the San Diego Animal park that has a really nice little group in an open exhibit. Now I much prefer a wild shot to a "zoo" shot, but in many cases the only way I can get closeups showing animal behavior is with enclosed animals. To get a head shot like this out in the desert has been impossible for me. The Animal Park is great to shoot at because they give the animals alot of room and also create as "natural" a habitat as they can. The animals can be real hams though. This guy really was very expressive and even mugged for the camera.
