Figure 1

Landsat scene showing 95% composite home ranges (yellow) for Wheeler Ridge and Mt. Baxter winter ranges of bighorn sheep. Mesic slopes to the west appear red in this false-color image (TM bands 4, 3, and 2) because photosynthetic activity is reflective of infrared radiation; snow-covered high elevations are visible in the center, with xeric areas visible on the east side, Sierra Nevada, California, USA (Path 42, Row 34, image date 11 March 2005).
