Recommending good locations comes with a qualifier. You will soon discover as you travel that concern for the environment is an extremely important issue when it comes to wildlife photography. We often encounter residents who fear that authorities such as Fish And Wildlife or other governing bodies will restrict access if habitat is compromised or wildlife stressed through over use or reckless behavior. This is obviously a valid concern and somewhat in conflict with our objective to provide advice to amateurs looking for readily accessible locations that yield exceptional results for time spent. We certainly don't want to see any habitat spoiled or wildlife stressed as closure would obviously be a disaster. Nonetheless, we recommend the following locations as sites to practise your craft and where you can expect opportunities commensurate with wildlife concentration. Each site is readily accessable and won't cost a fortune to enjoy. We do add the proviso that all locations require use of common sense and we encourage you to employ sensitivity and practise basic conservation while visiting. To achieve good results, it is best to note our time of year recommendation. To date, our favourite locations include:

We consider all the above sites to be exceptional and each will, in our opinion, greatly enhance some aspect of your learning experience. Our recommendations are based on first-hand experience. We have provided a thumb-nail sketch of each area including which sites to concentrate on and how to locate them. The descriptions are oriented toward campers or travel trailer enthusiasts. As such, we have not included any recommendations on hotel or motel accommodation. We intend to keep these descriptions as current as possible as we intend to revisit each over time. If you feel we've been remiss and omitted some pertinent new information, send us an email and we'll update accordingly.
