Wildlife near Fremont, CA
Fremont sits at the south end of San Francisco Bay, and the salt marshes and mudflats at Coyote Hills and the Don Edwards refuge are a shorebird stronghold. Avocets, stilts, and thousands of sandpipers work the flats, harbor seals haul out nearby, and burrowing owls hold the grassland edges. The hills behind town add black-tailed deer, coyotes, and golden eagles overhead.

Most-observed species near Fremont
Built from recent research-grade iNaturalist observations. Identifications are community-sourced and may occasionally be wrong, and the ranking reflects where people record and photograph wildlife, so a species seen often here is not necessarily rare elsewhere. Some plants and animals are only out in certain seasons. Treat this as a lively snapshot of what people are finding, not a formal checklist.
