Comments:

Snake River, Slick Bridge area. Source (Trost) is J. Klott. High water may have resulted in nest abandonment. Not sure how this is determined as Clark's without observing adults. Cavitt doubles the 3 nests to estimate # of breeding birds as 6. Since Trost didn't have adult #s, I entered this estimate. The June 3, 1993 survey is also included in G. Ivey's ID Waterbird Atlas spreadsheet for his work with Region 1 - Non Game. In Ivey's spreadsheet, the median number for range of nests is reported as 4 and estimated # of breeding birds at 8 (conversion factor of nests by 2).
