Comments:

Hundertmark was observer in 1975, Stahlecker was observer for 1987, 1988, 1993, and 1994. 1987, 1993, and 1994 estimate of # breeding adults were nests X2 but I used actual counts where there were (1975, 1987, and 1988). These are historical records included in the Atlas.

Comments:

From the field notes database of the New Mexico Ornithological Society, only records with evidence of breeding (nests and/or eggs) included here. Intermittent observations from the first confirmed breeding at this lake in 1987. Observations are descriptive and sometimes adults, nests, and/or chicks but numbers not always included. This entry includes numbers, if provided. Numbers column does not always match the comments so I went by comments for information. Years of observations are 1987, 1993, and 1994.
