William Lovell Finley (1876-1953) was a wildlife photographer and conservationist born in Southern California, United States. William was the son of John Pettus Finley and Nancy Catherine Rucker. The William L. Finley National Wildlife Refuge was named in his honour. In 1905, Finley and Herman T. Bohlman visited and photographed Lower Klamath Lake and Tule Lake. Their report in the November- December issue of Bird Lore helped prompt President Theodore Roosevelt to set the areas aside as federal bird reservations. That same year, Finley was elected to the board of the National Association of Audubon Societies for the Protection of Wild Birds and Animals (later National Audubon Society), to fill the term vacated by Isaac N. Field. In 1906, he was elected the second President of the Oregon Audubon Society (which became Audubon Society of Portland in 1968). In 1925, he was appointed by the Governor of Oregon to the State Game Commission.
