Animals of interest in the Seba Beach region.
Wabamun Lake has seen significant change in landscape in the 20th and 21st century that have vastly changed it from what it once was. As to be expected, these changes have been reflected in the fauna of the area, with certain populations declining and some increasing. Apart from the human changes to the Wabamun area that makes it notable, its location also serves as an unusual mix between boreal forest, parkland, and foothills. With old foothills to the west of the lake, as well as on Coal Point, some animals can be seen that would not usually be seen further east. I have compiled a list of animals that we know little about in the region or have been declining in numbers recently.
