Comments:
Surveyed for 3 periods: spring migration, mid-breeding, and fall migration in 2003. Numbers here are just during mid-breeding season (June 12 to 23). Data is grouped by area and not broken down by lake/reservoir so some listed here may not be a breeding lake. Klamath River includes Klamath WA and Lake Ewauna.
