Wildlife Viewing - Curt Gowdy
About:
Wildlife watching is never disappointing. Native ground squirrels, mule deer, elk, yellow-bellied marmots, and chipmunks abound in this area. The park has developed a reputation as a prime area for birdwatchers. Beginning in late April and early May, migrating birds spend several days in the park and bird-watchers are afforded the opportunity to see many non‑native birds. There are numerous bluebird houses throughout the park which attract a large population of summer dwellers.
Location- All around the park
- Please see Curt Gowdy Brochure & Map (above)
