The ultimate wildlife viewing experience is watching animals in their normal environment. Here are some helpful tips to become a wildlife-friendly viewer.
Use the right tools
Carry a field guide and a pair of binoculars.
Watch at dawn and dusk
This is the time when most wildlife species are active enough to view.
Keep your distance
Stay on established trails and maintain a distance that is comfortable for the wildlife.
Stay quiet
Move slowly and quietly to increase your chance of viewing wildlife and to avoid stressing the animals you wish to watch.
Do not feed wildlife
There is plenty of food available in the wild. Human food can cause digestive problems, provide improper nutrition, and can even kill an animal.
