[va-bird] Eared Grebe at Craney I. in Portsmouth

There has been an EARED GREBE at Craney Island in Portsmouth for some time, I believe. I was told about this bird by David Hughes and others.

But, the bird is still present at Craney, as of yesterday. It was in the middle cell (which was quite full of water) at the western portion, in the company of RUDDY DUCKS.

There are still shorebirds around. Saw DUNLIN, GREATER YELLOWLEGS, and some PEEP (some sounded like WESTERN SANDPIPERS). A few CASPIAN TERNS with one or two ROYALS are still present. Good numbers of NORTHERN SHOVELER were seen and a FALCON (pretty sure a PEREGRINE) buzzed the shorebirds -- that bird was moving very fast.
