Flying desert bighorn sheep - incoming

While camping in the Anza-Borrego Desert State Park Halloween weekend, we noticed a helicopter flying overhead carrying three bundles one morning. We followed it and found DFG doing a capture and collaring of the rare desert bighorn sheep. The skill of the pilot as he gently lays down the sheep is amazing!
