<br /> <br /> <br /> Inasmuch as the 0-5 depth increment can have 25~ gravel and <br /> the 5-14 inch increment SOiI cobble, this soil is considered <br /> Boor for topsoiling. <br /> <br /> WILDLIFE <br /> <br />' <br />i <br />A large number of different animal species may be found <br /> in this area at different times of the year, according to <br /> Mr. Willie Travnicek of the Colorado Division of Wildlife <br /> in Salida. Among those animals which may be found in the <br /> area during the wintez months are mule deer, mountain lions, <br />' bobcats and coyotes. However, mule deer and coyotes are <br /> the only species which are likely to be found consistently or <br />' <br />l <br /> in numbers. Gray fox, ring-tailed cats and prairie falcon <br /> will hunt there almost any time during the year. A few <br /> mourning doves feed in the area and golden eagles have been <br />' sighted in the winter. Several non-game mammals can be <br /> found there; for example, Richardson's ground squirrels, <br /> k <br />l <br />hi <br />il <br />d <br />k <br />k <br />i <br />l <br />k <br />bbi <br /> w <br />s, wease <br />s <br />te ta <br />e <br />jac <br />ra <br />ts, roc <br />squ <br />rre <br />s, s <br />un <br /> and cottontail rabbits. Of these, the cottontail is the most <br /> likely to be observed because of the large number, approxi- <br />L mately 25 on or adjacent to the site. Non-game birds which <br /> may use the area are crow, raven, magpie, scrub jay and <br />' St <br />'s ja <br />ll <br /> y. <br />e <br />ar <br /> While this pit area is a relatively good wildlife area <br /> with pinyon trees, a rock outcrop and proximity to the <br /> Arkansas River, it is also close to urban development on the <br /> D-3 <br /> <br />
