I met with a class of first graders on the shores of Green Lake, Seattle, this morning.
During a pre-meeting scan of the lake I noticed across the lake 9 (presumed) Horned Grebes and 7 (presumed) Western Grebes, as well as 5 Pied-billed Grebes.
After spending a lovely 1.5 hours with the kids (and their teacher and parents) on this sunny morning, I went around the lake to the other side and confirmed that they were indeed Horned and Western grebes. No Eared or Clark's that I saw.

Western and Horned are irregular but normal fall/winter/spring visitors to the lake in my experience (having lived close to the lake and birded there regularly from 1983 - 2002).

Judging by the number of Double-crested Cormorants and large numbers of both Hooded and Common mergansers on the lake the fishing must be good. I only saw one carp jump...
