Its all the melting snow leaving uncovered the dead of the winter. Thanks for the report, also not tired of RN Grebe sightings.

It was my first time at this spot and it was really nice there...people were out enjoying the nice weather...also saw Mallards, Black Ducks (a lot at this lake), Mute Swans, a pair of Shovelers, 2 Coots, and about 8 Ringed Necked Ducks. Weird analogy, but lately I feel like Angela Lansbury from Murder She Wrote - wherever she went things turn up dead - so again, I found another dead bird... a dead crow in the water - all tangled up in fishing line. Ending on a positive note, the Red Necked Grebe seemed comfortable at the lake despite everyone around the lake - was sleeping most of the time I was there.
