Seasonal Finds

While Haystack Rock is home to a large biodiverse group of animals year round, some are easier to find at certain times of the year. These are the typical critters that are easiest to see based on time of year but that doesn’t mean you can’t find some of them at other times, they just might require more searching. Winter animals are not listed since those found here in winter are typically found here all year - which is quite a list of animals!
