Comments:

From latitude/longitude point, largest closest lake identified via Google Earth. Confirmed breeding with precocial young observed in Block ID 158 for all survey dates. Only detail reported was that on 17 July 2012, "at least 8 broods and many adults". A range of one to three chicks are estimated per brood. There are two Green Lakes in SD, this one is in Gettysburg in Potter County.

Comments:

In Potter County. One date of surveying but two different numbers, not sure why. For one survey, a number of 150 is assuming to be adults and 47+ broods observed by Nancy Drilling. Range of 1 to 3 chicks per brood is estimated each brood For the other survey, more than 55 adults were counted by SDBBA 2015. Maximum adults is estimated of the two totaled which may or may not be correct.
