The Upper Foothills Wildlife
Animals of the Upper Foothills Subregion are similar to those of
coniferous forests of the Lower Foothills and
Subalpine Subregions. These include
Pine Siskin, Yellow-rumped Warbler, Ruby-crowned Kinglet, White-crowned
Sparrow and Varied Thrush. Elk and both Black and Grizzly Bear are also characteristic.
Species diversity is lower here, generally, than in the Lower Foothills Subregion because of a lower vegetational diversity, including few
deciduous forest stands.
