There have been a lot of recent reports of Red-necked Grebes in locations where
they're not seen often, like rivers on Long Island. I read that the Great lakes
are 75% frozen over, so this is probably driving them south. A similar event
happened maybe 10 -15 years ago when they showed up in many spots where there
was open water while the Great Lakes were in a deep freeze. So anywhere there's
open water could be a good spot to look - could be an addition to many county
and local lists, assuming you can find open water
