    Deer are common in the early spring and fall and also regularly visible throughout the summer months. The Zion Ponderosa is a literal haven for deer, wild turkeys, and a large list of other birds and animals. Eagles are prevalent from November to March and both Bald and Golden eagles have are regularly seen in the trees and skies overhead. Turkey Vultures and their larger cousins the California Condor are regular visitors to the area. Condors have some of the largest wing-spans for any land-based bird. Big horn sheep love the east-side of Zion National Park so don't be surprised if you come across several of them grazing on the cliff-faces as you walk or drive on this side of Zion National park.
