Grebe in the Grove

Some readers may be aware of the Western Grebe being seen in Bright's Grove, just north of Sarnia.

It was nowhere to be seen when we first arrived this afternoon. It was very windy and wavy, which certainly didn't help with visibility. Just as I was about to give up almost half and hour into my search, I spotted it for about a second way out on the lake.

It took a little while before I re-found it again, this time it was much closer.



Soon it swam even closer, to the end of the pier where I was standing.


It dove frequently.


Can you still see it?


Before today, I had never seen a Western Grebe before, so it was particularly exciting to see it. Not bad for an after school twitch!
