For those who don't know what people mean by "the" grebe at Wilde Lake,
here's the story.
Last March there was a Red-necked Grebe at Wilde Lake that had a
deformed bill. The bill was crossed! Bob Mumford took some photos of it
that showed the crossed bill quite clearly. See the MDOsprey archives
for Sun, 9 Mar 2008 if you want the details.
I have taken close photos of the bird that is there now, and it has a
normal bill. Oh, well. I was kind of hoping the "red crossbill grebe"
would show up - then I'd know it survived.
