July 8, 2011 (Anza-Borrego) –Dozens of volunteers braved 120-degree-heat at the annual four-day count of endangered Peninsular Bighorn Sheep in Anza-Borrego Desert State Park last weekend.

Participants reported good news—sighting 329 sheep. That’s the second highest count on record (after 356  in 2009) and substantially more than last year’s count of 255.
