This a.m., Feb. 10, I saw the red-necked grebe on the west side of 
121 in Little Seneca Lake. At 7:30 or 7:45 a.m., it was first seen 
close to the road, for a moment. It dove and was later relocated 
(about 20 minutes later) mid-way out on the west side and stayed 
above water. Among the common mergansers, I also saw a drake and 
several female red-breasted mergansers. On the other side, a male 
common goldeneye was also in view. Pied-billed and horned grebes, 
tundra swans, hooded mergansers, ruddy ducks, a few lesser scaup, 
ring-necked ducks, canvasbacks, and buffleheads were among the other 
usual suspects.
