Conger Mountain is also home to ferruginous hawks, Swainson's hawks, mountain bluebird, red-tailed hawks, prairie falcons, kit foxes, badgers, and chukar.[3]

Currently, the 20,400 acres encompassing Conger Mountain are considered a Wilderness Study Area. Action may be taken in the future to designate this area as a National Wilderness Area.[4]

gollark: They must have so many weird special cases everywhere for slightly broken software or hardware.

gollark: Yes, they could probably just put basically anything in there and it would be hard to do anything about it.
gollark: No, I mean it would be hard to do in the various open source OSes.
gollark: > Maybe you've never thought about this, but if there are 100 devs working for free you'd only need to hire 50 devs to compromise all their code.That's, um, still quite a lot given the large amounts of developers involved, and code review exists, and this kind of conspiracy could *never* stay secret for very long, and if you have an obvious backdoor obvious people are fairly likely to look at it and notice.
