Greetings tweeters,
The article that I wrote about Western Grebes (WEGR) is in today's Shoreline Area News

http://www.shorelineareanews.com/2012/11/for-birds-western-grebe-swan-grebe.html.

I have already thanked Doug Parrott for his great pictures.

The part about WEGR eating body feathers came from the great new book:

Feathers: The Evolution of a Natural Miracle, Thor Hanson.
I highly recommend it.
(Usual disclaimers, "I do not profit in any way from the sale of this book.") Matter of fact, I found it in the Shoreline Library.

Good Birding,
