Are there quetzals there too?

Jackrabbits also. Seriously, many of these areas were purchased with Pittman-Robertson funds available for wildlife habitat. There are several of these areas along the Rio Grande. The biggest is Bosque Del Apache which is off of I-25 approximately 60 miles south of here. The state of NM manages these areas. The big problem we have here in NM is extreme drought conditions. The Rio Grande is currently at record low water level. The area off of I-70 is very densely wooded with Salt Cedars and high grass. Ripe for a wildfire.
