The Eared Grebe was at the far end in the East cell. It can be easily seen from the tower with a good scope.
There are also a good variety of waterfowl (20 species or so) including resident breeders such as Ruddy Duck and Redhead, and early fall arrivals such as Bufflehead, Ring-necked Duck, Lesser Scaup, Common Goldeneye and Hooded Merganser. This morning I saw a Stilt Sandpiper, Red-necked Phalarope (2) and a Ruddy Turnstone among the more common shorebirds. In the past few days I observed at these lagoons 15 species of shorebirds including a Short-billed Dowitcher and an American Golden-Plover.

From the parking lot walk eastward to the observation platform. Good birding!
