Comments:
Unpublished data from Ann Manning with the Utah Division of Wildlife, forwarded by Gary Ivey. Ivey said year saved was 2006 but otherwise unknown when this list was determined by Manning, hence year noted as 2006 or prior. This is on a list of known colonies of Western and Clark's grebes. No year nor other info provided.
