At Lobatos Bridge I found the Rio Grande mostly frozen, with a few areas of open water. I did not find any sign of otters, but tracking conditions were not very good. Most of the snow on the river ice was gone, and the distance between stretches of open water likely made it difficult for otters to use this upper section of river. About 5 miles south of the bridge I surveyed 3 sections from the east rim of the gorge and could plainly see raccoon and coyote tracks in the frozen snow and ice, but saw no sign of otter activity.
