California Wildlife Viewing Guide

Wildlife is nearer than you think. The secret is knowing where and when to look. From wave-battered headlands and quiet estuaries to spectacular mountain peaks and sprawling desert plateaus, the California Wildlife Viewing Guide will lead you to 150 of the state's premier wildlife viewing locations and better your chances of seeing wildlife once you get there. Included are detailed descriptions of each viewing site, maps and access information, helpful viewing tips, and more than 90 color photos. This guide was created through the National Watchable Wildlife Program, a partnership initiative coordinated by Defenders of Wildlife. Each site was selected by a panel of wildlife experts from the following organizations and government agencies. These groups also made significant technical contributions to the research and development of this guide.
