Mammals    The first small mammal survey in the park's history was completed in 1992 by the New York State Museum. This survey documented 5 species of small mammals; a written report and representative study skins were provided to the park. An additional mammal species list prepared by ROVA staff based on personal and anecdotal observations probably includes all the larger and more conspicuous species. A large and conspicuous White-tailed Deer herd exists at all three sites, with no apparent overpopulation problem. The park is within the summer range of the Federally Endangered Indiana bat (Myotis sodalis), but no work has been done to verify the presence or absence of this species. A mammal species list is under construction.     | home | what's new? | finding us | directions | fees | hours | | reservations | park facilities | history | events | virtual tours | | cultural resources | natural resources | press room | | park rules & regulations | links | | ParkNet |   National Park Service 4097 Albany Post Road Hyde Park, NY 12538 Last updated: February 16, 2001 http://www.nps.gov/hofr/nr_mammals.html Author: ROVA Webmaster
