The park's plant communities provide habitats for a variety of mammals, birds, reptiles and amphibians. When spring arrives, listen for the songs of frogs as they serenade their mates. A rustle in the underbrush may prove to be a garter snake or toad searching for its dinner. A high-pitched scream overhead from a circling hawk indicates that someone else is on the hunt for a meal. The loud chattering from a tall spruce tells another story. A nervous red squirrel protects her young as they sleep in a nearby leaf nest. Whether it is spring, summer, fall or winter, endless opportunities to view wildlife are available. Be alert to the sights and sounds around you as you explore the park. The rewards are varied and they may consist of a glimpse of an animal or the signs it leaves behind.
