[va-bird] Red-necked Grebe - Burke Lake - Wed. 11-20

Arrived at Burke Lake looking for the grebe about 1:15pm Wednesday afternoon. 
Found it quite quickly to the left of the pier, a good distance 
across the lake. I stayed for about 20 minutes(it stayed in the 
water to the left of the pier the whole time I was there) and eventually 
it came quite a bit closer and I had some excellent looks due to the
clear sunny day. Definitely looks like a first winter bird, as it 
looks like a stripe or two of the juvenile facial markings are still 
visible, though fainter. Thanks to those who posted for helping me to a lifer!
