Roadtrip Report: Herd of Endangered Bighorn Sheep

Trans-Canadian Roadtrip, originally uploaded by perlgurl.org.

Hello, all!

I'm just back from a roadtrip up the Pacific Coast, through California, Oregon, Washington and across the Trans-Canadian highway!

Along the way, we got to see some amazing wildlife which I plan to tell you about soon. Some of the highlights included:

• A Raft of Sea Otters in Monterey Bay, California
  
• A Colony of Harbor Seals in Shelter Cove, California
  
• Lots of roadside Ravens in the Canadian Rockies in British Columbia, Canada
  
• Three herds of Bighorn Sheep and some elk in Jasper National Park in Alberta, Canada
  
• A lonely Bison in Elk Island National Park in Alberta, Canada
  
• Prairie Dogs and huge amounts of ducks in Saskatchewan, Canada
  
• Two white-tailed deer fawns in Riding Mountain National Park in Manitoba, Canada
  
• Pair of courting Sandhill Cranes along the Great Lakes in Ontario, Canada
  
• Canadian Geese in Quebec, Canada
  
• A Woodchuck & a White-tailed Deer fawn in Northern Vermont
  
• A Black Bear in Crawford Notch, New Hampshire

I am getting settled in and hope to write about my Canadian roadtrip in the coming weeks.
