Comments:
Parker and Frokjer were observers. Eight of these considered non-breeding but since we're not distinguishing between breeding and non-breeding adults, I added them together. Conducted as part of Western Colonial Waterbird Survey (WCWS), a breeding survey of 18 species from May to July 2009 to 2011, resulting in this Atlas.
