Consider heading to a place that has very little light pollution. If you live in Southern California this likely means you’re going to need to head to the desert. A few options could include Joshua Tree NPS or Anza-BorregoDesertSP. #Stargazing #Stars #Astrophotography #NightViews

Be sure that you keep your night vision eyes adjusted to the darkness. Avoid lighting and car headlights. Add a red light filter for any light source you use. This will help you keep your eyes adjusted to the night's dim light. #Stargazing #Stars #Astrophotography #NightViews

Make sure you understand when and where the moon will rise and set as well as where it is within its cycle. Full moons make it much more challenging to see stars, planets, and constellations. It is best to go during the new moon. #Stargazing #NightViews #MoonPhases #NewMoon

Have you ever wondered why you might see wildlife in your neighborhood? Our homes and roads invaded their homes and they have limited places to live. There are a variety of reasons you may see them, here are just a few. #LivingWithWildlife #Coyotes #WildlifeBehavior

Wildlife are attracted to food sources. Add trays underneath your bird feeder to limit squirrels, opossums, and rats. Take in your pet food and water at night to limit skunks, racoons, and others. Keep your trash bins closed to keep animals out of them. #LivingWithWildlife

What to do when you encounter a snake: If you are in your backyard, pull out your hose and spray the snake down. If on the trail, watch it and wait for it to move. Snakes play an important role in the ecosystem by keeping down the rodent population. #LivingWithWildlife #Snakes
