It is apparently inconclusive if there has been 2 or 3 Western-type Grebes on Cayuga Lake. Tom Johnson's question of Western X Clark's Grebe is intriguing since one of the two birds he and Jay had looks similar to the one at the southern end of the Lake that I photographed on Saturday. When I saw Chris Wood's photos, his bird struck me as being darker like the other bird Jay and Tom had. Anyway...
Chris Wood's are here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/pinicola/6673386795/in/photostream/ Tom's are here: http://www.flickr.com/bonxie88 Mine are here: http://www.flickr.com/photos/davenicosia/6818823433/in/set-72157629174516367/ Are they the same birds? or impossible to tell? In any event, 2 western grebe's or 1 western and 1 western x clark's is amazing....3 of these birds is unfathomable!
