? I saw the bird in the north part of the lake this morning between 11 & 11:15
? It was diving near the outflow at 5th Ave. Then moved to the middle of the lake.

Greetings,? I walked the North pool of the Lake Thursday morning and did not locate a grebe.? Also quickly scanned the south side and did not see one there either.? I'd be interested in knowing if you see this bird again.
