Kathy:
The Western Grebe report has caused some excitement and perhaps
justifiable scepticism. I thought I saw sufficient morphological
detail to specifically identify it, but its rarity in this area
raises some reasonable questions. If the wind falls by tomorrow,
I'll go back equipped to photograph it, if it is reasonably close,
and to call a buddy if it appears that a second person would have
viewing opportunity.
