New Wave Rafting’s full day Taos Box trip consists not only of lots of whitewater action. If one is vigilant, there is also abundant wildlife that can be observed. We really felt blessed on this particular day.  Not only did we have warm sunshine to take the chill out after getting soaked in Class 4 rapids, but we had some superb wildlife sightings as well.

First spotted was a baby Bighorn who seemed more curious about us than it's mother did.

This two year old munches on the sedge that grows along the river.

With their thick winter coats shed, they're looking quite sleek.

This older ewe gave birth two days after this photo was taken.

At this time of the year the rams hang out together in what is termed a "bachelor group"

This is Butch. He appears to be the alpha ram. He looks pretty tough to me!
