Comments:
From Erin Duvuvuei email to be paraphrased: "I was hoping to find additional data associated with colonial waterbird surveys that were conducted in 2010, but although Aechmophorus grebes were noted at Cherry Lake, Heron Reservoir, Navajo Reservoir, Elephant Butter Reservoir, & Elephant Butte Marsh during aerial surveys in May 2010, no nests were documented."
