i,he same techniques to observe wildife while they’re out on the trail, Mr. Bromley suggested. Instead of wearing bright colors, whistling, singing and making a lot of noise, wear dark colors and set asic^e time to quietly observe the wildlife that’s probably within a few feet of you.

“Hike slowly, walk four or five steps, and when things look brushy, stop and look around for a minute,” he said. “One of the tricks I’ve learned is to go up to the edge of a ridge where you can’t see the other side, and slowly creep up behind a large tree that blocks your silhouette from the other side of the ridge. Then peak around the tree and you’ll be surprised what you see. You’d sometimes will find deer just beneath you that haven’t heard or scented you.”

Another suggestion is to wake early in the morning to go spying for wildlife. Just before dawn, a variety of wildlife is up and active, Mr. Bromley said. Leave all your things at your camp, put on sneakers or other quiet shoes, and slowly walk up the trail till the sun comes up.

Either way - if you’re an avid hiker or a back yard watcher - it’s easy and fun to enjoy the variety of wildlife around you, he said.
