Welcome to The Wildlife Insider. A blog that focuses on wildlife viewing, birding, photography, story-telling, and everything in between. Here at The Wildlife Insider our goal is to share our passion and unique experiences, to inspire others to get outside and enjoy what nature has to offer.
This is a place where you can come to read about how we locate and interact with a wide variety of species. Looking for tips on finding Owls in the woods? We have you covered. Wondering how to find Moose in the far North? Check. Wanting to know the best spots for migrating birds during the spring? We would love to help. From mammals, birds, reptiles, and amphibians – we love them all, and want to share both our knowledge and experiences with you !
When you find that beautiful Barred Owl sitting on a low perch at first light, don’t forget to pull out that camera! The Wildlife Insider also focuses on photography. The only thing better than coming across a wild animal in their natural habitat, is taking a great photo to cherish the memory forever. We share simple tips and tricks that are specific to wildlife photography. Many people dream about taking high-quality photos of wildlife, but can become overwhelmed at the amount settings they see on their camera. Our goal is to simplify concepts such as shutter speed, aperture, ISO, and composition. We believe that everyone has the tools to take exceptional photographs, it just takes a little bit of practice and patience!

Hey all, I’m Kyle. Thanks for checking us out! Wildlife conservation is a huge part of my life and something I’m very passionate about. I hope I can ignite that passion in some of you!
As an environmental monitoring professional, I see the negative impacts we as humans have on wildlife and our natural areas. I’ve also found that the best remedy for a lot of our issues is education! The more people know about wildlife and conservation, the more they care!
If we can educate people with this blog, get them outside, and connect them with wildlife, I have hope for the future of our natural areas.
