Sheep drinking lake water
They have a great source of water in the Kamloops Lake. They are timid and are going to get to the water following a quiet path to avoid those who are visiting the resort. |

| Curious California Bighorn Sheep |
The sheep will blend right into the hillside and are difficult to see from a distance. It looks like the hillside is moving as the herd make their way across it. These great photo's of Tracy's are taken from quite a distance with the zoom lense.

| Two California bighorns |
The way these two are standing side by side almost makes it look like they're one with two heads. They seem to keep their herd together and are not likely to be found alone.

| Bald headed eagle |
Eagles prefer to build their nest is trees without foliage so you will often find them perched in trees like this one. There is more information about the bald headed eagle if you

The expression can be seen of this beautiful eagle in this photo that Tracy was able to get. He is keeping a watchful eye on his surroundings, likely to protect the nearby nest.
