Hi everyone,

The two red-necked grebes found yesterday by Lou Shain were found again
this morning at Jacobson Park.  Because most of the lake froze last night,
the grebes stayed in a small unfrozen area along the back of the lake,
close to the golf course.

Also at Jacobson Park were American wigeons, northern shovelers,
ring-necked ducks, mallards, gadwall, lesser scaup, greater scaup, one mute
swan, hooded mergansers, bufflehead, coots, and one horned grebe.  I also
saw a couple yellow-rumped warblers near the bank.

A third red-necked grebe was found on Reservoir 2, seen from Lakeshore Dr.
 There were many gulls on the lake, too, including at least four herring
gulls among the 35+ ring-billed gulls.
