We walked the boardwalk at Redondo Beach Drive S in Des Moines this
afternoon and found at least 20 or more Horned Grebes, mainly in breeding
plumage. Noteworthy were two Eared Grebes in breeding plumage seen in the
vicinity of s 284th Street and Redondo Beach Drive. These may still be the
same birds seen at that location during the winter.
Also seen from the boardwalk were 4 Pigeon Guillemots, 8 Surf Scoters (3
male, 5 females), a pair of White-winged Scoters, a single Short-billed
Gull and a single Common Loon in full breeding plumage.
Good Birding!
