I headed up to Sheldrake this morning to look for the reported Red-
necked Grebes. Lake viewing conditions were nearly ideal, with almost
no wind and little shimmer. Try as I might, I could not locate any Red-
necks but did manage to find a flock of 9 Horned Grebes to the north
of the point and a pair of Long-tailed Ducks at the bottom of the
first road in from the south. Also one Common Loon off the point. No
grebes along Elm Beach Road nor at Dean's Cove.
Finally, from the parking lot above the Aurora boathouse I found two
distant Red-necked Grebes. They spend most of the time under water,
but while on the surface one could see the overall dark color, longish
bill, and size larger than the closer Horned Grebes (of which there
were five).
