Jerry,
Where specifically did you see the Eared grebe at the Des Moines Marina?
It is seen here on occasion and not every year. I'm walking down there in
a few min (I live on the bluff above the north end of the Marina.) Thanks
for your report; really helps the effort to keep track of what moves
through here.
Cheers,
Maureen Ellis me2 at u.washington.edu Univ of WA and Des Moines, WA
