Mammals Elks are in their winter habitat, very easy to watch and take great photos!
Beavers are living under ice and in a mild iceless winter can be easy to watch in the day!
Otters can also be easy to watch but only when everything is frozen. They must often go out to breathe and use few available airholes.
Wolves will be having their rutting season soon so they are quite active at nights, easy to track in the day.		 Bison are gathered in large herds, easy to track and watch near feeding stations.
