This isn't exactly wildlife, but last month there was a very large flock of 
sheep working their way around the valley where I live for a couple weeks.  
I live in the Mojave desert by Ridgecrest (except I'm on the flats) and the 
terrain is pretty monotonous, burro bushes and creosotes forever.  My old 
lazy, steady, goofy gelding was really curious about the sheep poop on the 
trail, but he really freaked when he saw the sheep! The baaing and the bells 
were scary, too.  At least when people are little we learn about animals in 
books, but poor Beau must have thought aliens had landed!  I wish he was 
always that animated though!  After that whenever he saw a whitish bush he 
was afraid it was another sheep!  After 13 years of riding these same trails 
he had never seen anything like it, and it sure took him by surprise!  It 
still makes me laugh!
