Comments:
Western grebes are and have been nesting at this lake in recent years, according to Ron Martin (2023). No specific years provided so estimated the range of 2018 to 2022 as active breeding lake though it could have supported nesting prior to this range. Martin (2023) states that water levels rose in the last 20 years and many lakes had a lack of grebes in the 80s and early 90s.
