Mary and I did our HF survey today and here is that data. We also checked out a new Prairie Dog town which was new to us. It contained 13 Burrowing Owls that we saw in less than 10 minutes. At HF, we had 13 shorebird species all from the dam which included 150 or more that the thermals would not allow us to ID. Not bad for the end of March.
