Notes	Recent Blizzard conditions dropped 40" of snow causing deep drifts in places that remain. The hotspots on this route are the large prairie dog towns, unfortunately almost all of them were covered in snow and thus despite good conditions otherwise, we saw zero prairie dogs and consequently fewer raptors than normally seen. We were also forced to end the route before the end point due to impassable county roads blocking completion. Snow cover varied widely on the count
