Colorado Parks and Wildlife (CPW) is advising residents and hunters in the northeast and southeast regions of the state that biologists will be using a low-flying airplane to conduct aerial prairie dog surveys in the coming weeks. 

Flight dates are weather-dependent but, generally, the flights will start around Sept. 14 and conclude by Oct. 1.

"These surveys will primarily be north and east of the Denver metro area and south of Lamar,” said Species Conservation Coordinator Tina Jackson.
