Comments:
Per authors, active nest count = # nests detected + 0.5*(juveniles detected). One of only 2 sites with active nesting in 2004. Since surveying in 1998, the Russell Lakes SWA complex of lakes supported the most Clark's grebe colonies with almost 60% of production. Surveys were conducted from 1998 to 2004 for this report but since only nests counted in 2004 were mentioned for this lake, I noted this for just 2004.
