Source is this study. Comments say that Mountain View Reservoir at this site is "too disturbed for nesting" but no specifics. Nest survey on June 29 found no nests.

Comments:
Source is this study. There are 15 with 3 to 4 chicks on back plus 29 Clark's with chicks (no number range). Doesn't specify if all the Clark's have chicks but I'm going to assume so and with 1 to 3 chicks. Therefore, minmum chick # is 74 = (15 x 3) + (29 x 1). Maximum chick # is 147 = (15 x 4) + (29 x 3). In shallow lakes that are vulnerable to fish kills, grebe populations may fluctuate. However, breeding lakes that are eutrophic, like Mountain View Reservoir, may support small fish populations.
