Comments:
Nebraska Sandhills Lakes with Western Grebe breeding records from database owned by James E. Ducey, forwarded by Ross Silcock. Credit as James E. Ducey, Valentine, Nebraska. Archive of the Great American Sandhills. April 14, 2022 is the publication date. No other details provided. Breeding record does not specify evidence (nests and/or chicks so entered as probable nests) and then Ross Silcock updated the list with years, some from eBird, and states that presence at Sandhills lakes in June to July is probable as breeding. There may have been previous years of observations to comprise Ducey's list but there is no information on that. Valentine NWR was visited multiple times in a year.
