Dawn and dusk are the best times to see wildlife. In warmer climates, little is moving on hot summer afternoons or 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.
