My appreciation, confirmation and delight in the hour I spent watching the Red-Necked Grebe along the east shore of Lake Harriet in Minneapolis mid-afternoon until dusk on Sunday April 17. In one field of view, while comfortably sitting on a rock some 50-75 feet away, I watched this bird, a Ruddy Duck, Coots and a Pied-Billed Grebe hang out together and occasionally interact. The Red Necked preened itself and extended it's lobed toes up for me to appreciate. Watching it battle for turf with the occasional coot was also a hoot.
Thank you for the notice. It made my day. Thomas Maiello St Paul
