I was wondering if anyone is studying the decline of the Western Grebe in the Puget Sound? They have gone down from 5000 plus regularly in Quartermaster Harbor (Vashon Island) in winter five-six years ago to less than 500 this year. Apparently this is mirrored in the Skagit CBC data as well. I'd like to know if anyone is working on it or has any similar data. Is there a web site where one can compare all the data on a species from several locations?
