Bighorn Sheep and Black-billed Magpie Are Friends

Bighorn Sheep and Black-billed Magpie Are Friends

We were delighted to see bighorn sheep in the Poudre Canyon and even more delighted when we witnessed this. It was a like an African safari in our own backyard! The bighorn sheep willingly tolerate the magpies as they help to remove external parasites from the sheep, or maybe they just dig taking them along for a ride! ;-)))
