Those are some nice pics. They look more like the sheep we would see up in Taylor Canyon when we lived in Gunnison, CO.

Cool link Daren,

I believe the Bighorn Sheep in Anza Borrego are a sub-species called the Peninsular Bighorn.
Any one can chime in if I am wrong :-)

I believe their population is pretty small.

So apparently the California Bighorn sheep habitat extends from British Columbia down to California and over to North Dakota (per Wikipedia). This wildlife photographer has a great collection of photos of California Bighorn near Kamloops Lake in British Columbia:

Amazing photos...

Sorry not Borrego specific but interesting and somewhat related.
