	Gambel Oak (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		This shrubby oak with the deep-lobed leaves is the common oak of the southern Rockies, and is found throughout western and southern Colorado, and in adjacent areas of Utah, New Mexico, and Arizona, covering nearly 10 million acres all told, among the lower mountains, hillsides, and canyons.
		Gambel oak is found in dry locations from 4000 to 8500 or even 10500 feet elevation.
		William Gambel was a young naturalist who collected plants here in 1844, about the time beaver pelts ceased to be the big business in the Rockies, and fifteen years before the Pike's Peak gold rush.

		Gambel's quail are the evolutionary answer to the question: "Can quail survive in the desert?".
		Dominant plant species in Gambel's habitat are generally mesquite, various acacias and mimosas, along with saguaro, prickly pear, barrel, and cholla cacti (much to the chagrin of the dogs).
		Gambel's quail populations, like most small game in the southwest, frequently undergo wild fluctuations in abundance from one year to the next.

		By 1841 Nuttall decided Gambel was ready to procure specimens for the Academy of Natural Sciences of Philadelphia and encouraged him to join a parry of trappers bound for the southern Rockies.
		Gambel was most into ornithology but Nuttall had taught him the importance of general collecting and all of the techniques needed to preserve specimens.

	Mountain Chickadee (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-26)
		The Mountain Chickadee (Poecile gambeli) was discovered (by Western science) by the well-known early ornithologist William Gambel (1823-1849) “in the mountains about a day’s journey west of Santa Fe” (likely in the Jemez) in 1841.
		Although his name is well represented in ornithology, botany, and herpetology in the names of organisms he either discovered or that were named in his honor, he made only one trip to the Southwest.
		Although Gambel was a student of Thomas Nuttall, he apparently did not impress John Cassin of the Academy with his careful scholarship – he described the quail as having been found “some distance west” of California – and so did not get the job he desired at the Academy in 1848.

		Gambel, fascinating in his role as the Southern senator, doesn’t have much of substance to say, but his character’s attack-dog delivery is relentless; using talk-radio strategies, he garbles, twists, and ignores the words of his adversaries.
