Watchable wildlife includes a wide array of state animals,
some as common as a familiar bird at a backyard feeder, some
briefly passing through on seasonal migrations, some rarely-seen
species that provide the dedicated viewer with a reward for
hours of patient waiting.
Besides
the animals themselves, watchable wildlife describes an increasingly
popular pursuit for many residents. Wildlife viewing is a
pastime that can be enjoyed in any season, in any corner of
the state, by any age group. Unlike some activities, special
equipment is not required. Wildlife watchers need to come
equipped only with a sense of appreciation for the state's
living resources and the knowledge of where to look for them.
We hope you will find this site helpful in meeting that need.
