The weather was horrendous, however 5 of us ventured out for the last of ASK's
monthly winter walks to Reservoir #4 for the season. Hopefully, in the future
the water company will agree to have these outings regularly during the winter
months.
By far the highlight were the grebes! Red-necked grebes were everywhere. Only
in an year like this would we be saying, "Oh, it's just another red-necked
grebe." The horned grebes put on a show as well. One bird was nearly in
complete breeding plumage and was simply stunning. Quite a treat.
