Comments:
Rawinski is observer. The Clark's grebe on 23 May 2011 is non-breeding. Different grebes on different days so the proportion is probably not applicable. 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.
