Bighorn Sheep Ewe near a Waterhole at Kofa National Wildlife in 1949

View of a young Bighorn Sheep standing atop a large rock; the photo was taken from ground just below the elevation the sheep is standing - we're looking up at the sheep, and slightly to the side. The sheep's head is looking to the right. A rocky ridgeline is in the foreground. Scrubby desert vegetation dot the rocks, with a small tree (devoid on leaves) is on the far left.
