Swift foxes (Vulpes velox) are a priority conservation species throughout the western prairie regions of the United States. A variety of methods has been used to survey and monitor the status of swift populations throughout the species range. We conducted surveys using a non-noninvasive approach to evaluate the status of the swift fox in eastern Colorado. From August through October 2011, we used remote infrared cameras and a skunk-based lure on 52 grids to estimate detection and occupancy rates of swift fox populations in eastern Colorado.
