A variety of birds and mammals are active in the winter. Great Cormorant, American Black Duck and large rafts of Common Eider Duck can be seen along Ocean Drive. Small land birds like Snow Bunting, Evening Grosbeak and Golden-crowned Kinglet are found throughout the island. Snowshoe Hare in their winter coats are common throughout the park, as are White-tailed Deer.
Your observations can help park researchers looking for sightings of Coyote, Spruce Grouse, Moose, Bear, Red Fox, Otter or Fisher. If you make a positive identification of any of these species, please fill out a Wildlife Observation Card at Park Headquarters.
For your own safety and the well-being of animals, do not touch or feed wild animals. Feeding can make them dependent beggars, unable to take care of themselves in the wild.
