At 2 pm today (Dec 16th) there was a Western Grebe swimming on both the MI and ON sides of the channel off lighthouse park in Port Huron and opposite the Sarnia waterfront. I obtained poor but readily identifiable stills and video. The bird was swimming and diving amongst the hundreds of long tailed ducks feeding north of the bridge. Also present were 28 white winged 1 surf and 1 black scoter (far to the north) and an adult Iceland Gull on the US side at the parking lot by the bridge (attacking some discarded garbage!).
