July 4, 2024 (Borrego) – With temperatures in triple digits in Anza-Borrego Desert State Park, Suzanne Brooks snapped this image on July 3 showing the area’s iconic bighorn sheep “chilling” out in the shade of a ramada at Palm Canyon Campground.
Borrego, which means sheep in Spanish, is named for these desert denizens. When not horning in on shady spots for humans, they are more commonly found in the desert's craggy hills, where they can be hard to spot, or at an oasis with water.
