Comments:

Tilly is observer. Conducted as part of Western Colonial Waterbird Survey (WCWS), a breeding survey of 18 species from May to July 2009 to 2011, resulting in this Atlas. These grebes are considered non-breeders but I included them here because this is a breeding lake. Optional whether to include in tally for this lake or not since numbers are small anyway.
