[Birdnet] Re: Red-necked Grebe still at Clegg's pong Thursday evening

[Keeli Marvel]

I went down to Clegg's pond following Merrill's excellent
directions Thursday evening around 6pm and all three grebes (Red-necked,
Clark's and Pied-billed) were still there. I got an especially nice view of
the Red-necked grebe's red neck in the sun, and it was close enough to see
well without a spotting scope.
