Ranked wildlife photography opportunities for your chosen date, with the reasons behind each score. Scores are planning aids, not sighting guarantees.
Finding the best spots…
Checking recent sightings, light and weather for 18 locations
How to read these: scores rank by how likely you are to find the animal, from recent eBird sightings and curated seasonality. The forecast for each location's best morning or evening window can only lower a score, so good light never lifts an unlikely sighting. Check the confidence level and reasons before you go.
