An Eared Grebe was found Thursday evening by North Point. I was busy that evening and thought I had missed out. Thankfully, it stuck around Friday and was able to stop on my way home from work. I got there about 4:30pm and had perfect late afternoon sunlight! Surprisingly, it hung out with several Bonaparte’s Gulls feeding in the water, but only about 5-10′ offshore. I waited for it to go under and got down low to the water before it popped back up. I sat there for a while and watched it feed rather closely. At one point it was so close, I just decided to take a nice head portrait. There was a lot of activity, since it was nice out, so when people would walk past above the rocks, it would swim out and then comeback. This one was rather close to breeding plumage, with some nice colors. I enjoy when I get to see one. Photos below are from Friday 4/11. Enjoy!
Great shots, Jeremy! Glad you were able to see it!!
