Comments:
This was a waterbird study of Laramie Plains lakes. From Table 1, relative abundance which is the mean number of birds per survey. At Laramie Plains lakes, evaporation rates exceed precipitation rates so water levels decline. At one lake, saline soil can salinate water to levels that exceed the ocean. These are not named as specific threats for particular lakes though so was not entered as such.
