Comments:
Ballard was observer. Nests X 2 was the estimate # of breeding adults in 2010 (4), but 32 is actual adult count so I entered that. The 4 Clark's grebes counted in 2010 were non-breeding. Conducted as part of Western Colonial Waterbird Survey (WCWS), a breeding survey of 18 species from May to July 2009 to 2011, resulting in this Atlas. Survey date given here is the only date provided.
