Year round residents include mule deer, coyote, porcupine, muskrat, Canada goose, coot, pheasant, turkey, quail, and roadrunner. Tips Dawn and dusk are the best times to see wildlife. In warmer climates, little is moving on hot summer afternoons or on windy days. Observe from the sidelines. A parent is probably close by waiting for you to leave.
Cars make good observation blinds.
Drive slowly, stopping to scan places wildlife might hide. Use binoculars or a long lens for a closer look. Try sitting quietly in one good location. Let wildlife get used to your presence. Many animals that have hidden will reappear once they think you are gone.
