While camped at Brantley Lake State Park in Carlsbad, NM I visited the wildlife viewing area. If you're into birding it has a really nice setup. Not being a birder myself (because I am never able to get good photographs of them naturally) this was a beginners paradise for me.

There is a fenced off area as a natural habitat for the local wildlife. The fence has portals cut into it at different heights for viewing from several levels and for all ages.

There is also a viewing room with glass wall and stadium seating where one can watch without disturbing the local residents. (I guess you could call this a neighborhood watch.)
