Many animals are migratory and can only be seen during certain seasons.
For instance, gray whales can only be seen off the Pacific coast for a few weeks in the spring. Many bird species are migratory. Learn the feeding habits of wildlife. For example, some animals only feed at night and marine birds use the tides in their daily feeding. A good pair of binoculars or a spotting scope will open up a whole new world.
