Carolyn Bishop and I did our winter raptor survey north of Idaho Falls today and saw one flock of about 200 Snow Geese flying along 97^th North between 15^th East and 5^th West.  Later we saw a flock of probably 2000 Snow Geese flying near 3100 East between 530 North and 650 North.  We also checked out the area along 105^th West north of the Arco Highway.  There is still a lot of snow there and also a few snow melt ponds but no geese.  There was one flooded area with about 100 gulls, three California Gulls among the many more Ring-billed Gulls.  We also saw many Trumpeter Swans both in the air and in the fields.
