The Western Grebe was in close enough for a digiscoped photo today at 1:00 pm. It took forever to get a photo though because it kept diving. It was to the right of the right No Swimming sign and then it moved to the left so that it was straight out but also farther out. Bob Guthrie also found one Red-throated Loon. Also at the park was one Sharp-shinned Hawk.
http://picasaweb.google.com/leona.lauster/WesternGrebeAndChimneyBluffs# We went to Broadway Road this morning but the hawks just weren't moving enough for us. We saw one Red-shouldered Hawk here and a couple TVs. We found another Red-shouldered Hawk at Fields Hill Road but our best sighting was from the road near Huckleberry Swamp. This bird was calling loudly and Bob got photos. Huckleberry Swamp had a sign on it: CLOSED FOR THE WINTER. Does that mean it opens tomorrow for the first day of Spring?
