Comments:

Hundertmark is observer. For 2010, nests X2 gave an estimate of breeding adults as 300 but I entered the actual count of 233. 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.

Comments:

One of 93 lakes, ponds, and reservoirs surveyed in CO for 3 species of grebes. No Western nor Clark's grebes found but entered this as zero because this lake was surveyed as part of WCWS.
