In the colder months, those that enjoy being outdoors may decide to watch the wildlife.

Guthrie County Conservation Director Brad Halterman says that deer have become more visible with the snow, so it’s easier to see them. He tells Raccoon Valley Radio about some other animals that are more noticeable.

“There are chances to see coyotes and fox(es). Also, bobcats are out and again, more visibly seen and a little more active, roaming around looking for things. So those are kind of the bigger type of animals that folks will see.”

Halterman mentions that people can also see smaller animals like raccoons, some squirrels, and many different types of birds. He adds that in areas of open water on rivers, there are also several waterfowl that can be seen.
