Comments:
Only grebe observations of reproduction (breeding, etc.) and nesting activity were entered. Observations with coordinates or shapefiles that were not at nor near a significant water body were not included as these might be errors in species or location (Grant Frost pers. comm.). Data from Nesting/Production Survey. The 5 grebes in 2000 are of unknown age but I noted them as adults due to month/date.
