I just returned from Laurel Creek Reservoir, in Waterloo, where I had a basic-plumaged Eared Grebe in the company of 3 basic Horned Grebes, and many Canvasbacks, Ruddy Ducks, and scaup. The birds were viewable from the beaver creek road bridge, but quite far, requiring a scope.
Directions: Laurel Creek: Exit the expressway (Hwy 85) at Northfield Drive and head west. This will turn into Westmount road, turn right at Bearinger road (set of lights) and turn right again at Laurelwood (next set of lights). Follow this to the roundabout and go right on Beaver Creek. Stop at the bridge and look right, towards the far left shore, infront of the point of cattails.
