Comments:
From Table B.1 and Table C.1, survey methods and dates for 2008 field season, and latest abundance estimate from 2008, compared to maximum abundance estimate. Source of maximum abundance estimate is from 2000 sourced from Alberta Sustainable Resource Development Species at Risk (SAR) #7. June 2008 survey data is from ASRD. I didn't include maximum abundance estimate as part of the survey date for Erickson's surveys.
