Geocache Description:

A short drive up Reservoir Road will bring you to Saddle Lake. Binoculars and a semi-applicable bird book have been placed in this cache for your birdwatching pleasure.

Wetlands are areas that are permanently or temporarily submerged in water - such as marshes, swamps, bogs and sloughs. Canada contains more than 1.2 million square kilometres of wetlands covering about 14 percent of its total land area. This represents one quarter of all wetlands in the world. They nurture hundreds of different species and provide the critical breeding and rearing habitat for a wide diversity of wildlife.

The only ecosystem designated for conservation by international convention, wetlands are highly valued as wildlife habitat and as natural water filters.

If you can positively identify a species, make a note, and I will credit you on the cache page.
