Comments:

From latitude/longitude point, largest closest lakes identified via Google Earth are Mud Lake and Willow Lake. Entered together as one entry because their separation is by an access road. No survey numbers but confirmed breeding with precocial young observed in Block ID 362. In 2009, at least 2 adults with chicks reported in Mud Lake. In 2011, occupied nest(s) and adults observed with young near the center of Willow Lake. There are two Mud Lakes in SD, this one is in Willow Lake town.
