Mesa Verde
Interview with Finnan, continued
Nov. 8, 1930
Mountain Sheep were here in the
past, but not in recent times.
We think they could live here if
reintroduced.
Antelope seem to be out of the
question.
Bob White Quail have been
introduced near the park & so
have California Quail, & Plovers.
The Scaled Quail & Gambel Quail
are native here.
Some Blue Grouse are in the
park; 24 were seen one morning
this summer at the construction
camp.
Finnan contemplates the
development of water holes on
the Mesa. This would greatly
augment wild life. It would not
be a great expense & seems very
desirable.
