Comments:
From Erin Duvuvuei email to be paraphrased: "In 2010, there was a westwide effort for colonial waterbird surveys, & I located a spreadsheet with NM waterbird colony locations. The locations listed below are not included in your list; unfortunately, there are no other details included in the spreadsheet regarding numbers of individuals/nests, date of occupancy, etc."

Comments:
From the field notes database of the New Mexico Ornithological Society, only records with evidence of breeding (nests and/or eggs) included here. Possibly 3 adults and/or nests observed but uncertain which or both so entered as present.
