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."
