Wildlife Count 2021

Jan 5, 2022

Note that these are the number of sightings, not the number of individual animals. Last year we did not have many Tundra Buggies® out in the CWMA so our numbers look quite a bit higher compared to the 2020 numbers. Check out last year's wildlife count where you can see the 2020 and 2019 numbers.

Below is our list of top wildlife sightings recorded in 2021 in no particular order.
