Three mature California bighorn rams stand in close, deliberate contact along the rugged slopes of the Okanagan Valley, their horns touching in a quiet moment at the very beginning of the rut.
Captured shortly after the 2023 McDougall Creek wildfire swept through the West Kelowna, BC, hillsides, this scene reflects both renewal and resilience. Before dominance is tested through force, these rams assess one another through posture, presence, and restraint - a study in strength without spectacle, set within a recovering landscape shaped by fire where some of their herd were lost.
