Birds, Animals and Wilderness
While the Seney National Wildlife Refuge is oriented towards maintaining living space for bird life, North American river otters, beavers, moose, black bears and gray wolves also live in the refuge. 211 separate species of birds have been logged at Seney, including ducks, bald eagles, trumpeter swans, osprey, sandhill cranes, and common loons. On the western side of the National Wildlife Refuge, a parcel is officially designated as a wilderness with an area of 25,150 acres (102 km2).
