Comments:

Confirmed breeding with precocial young observed in Block ID 210 for survey dates. Only reported numbers is that on 13 July 2012, 129 broods observed. Combining observation from 31 July 2012 of the SD Ornithologist's Union database because it is the same brood number (129) observed which seems unlikely. It is possible the date was transposed wrong and this is the same observation as 13 July 2012. Thus, I added the 390 adults which is also another assumption that this is what the number indicates. Confusing numbers. Observers were Nancy Drilling and SDBBA 2015.
