Hi Everyone, Following Peter Morris's report (I don't get tired of Red Necked Grebe sightings) I was at the lake today since I haven't seen any RN Grebes before - saw just one today but as Peter noted it was quite a stunner. It was my first time at this spot and it was really nice there...people were out enjoying the nice weather...also saw Mallards, Black Ducks (a lot at this lake), Mute Swans, a pair of Shovelers, 2 Coots, and about 8 Ringed Necked Ducks.
Weird analogy, but lately I feel like Angela Lansbury from Murder She Wrote - wherever she went things turn up dead - so again, I found another dead bird... a dead crow in the water - all tangled up in fishing line. Ending on a positive note, the Red Necked Grebe seemed comfortable at the lake despite everyone around the lake - was sleeping most of the time I was there.
