Notes	We only had about half of the number of raptors we had when we did the survey on 12/14/24, only 42 compared to 80, with only 3 AK compared to 15 with none on Oxford Road where we usually find them, only 19 RT compared to 35, only 10 BE compared to 19 --perhaps because of 8 inches of snow having fallen on Boulder County 5 days ago, and the reservoirs were frozen. Maybe they went further South.
