Hey everyone, 
For anyone who may be interested: This is a tad late, but on Tues evening, I 
was birding the dike at Kiep's Island in Trempealeau National Wildlife Refuge. 
Like I usually do, I scanned the impoundment on the east side of the dike, 
expecting to come up empty. I was surprised to find not one, but TWO Western 
Grebes. One of them was much too far away for photos, but the other was 
somewhat closer and in a raft of Redhead and Ruddy Ducks and I managed to get a 
few identifiable photos.

"The beauty and genius of a work of art may be reconceived, though its first 
material expression be destroyed; a vanished harmony may yet again inspire the 
composer; but when the last individual of a race of living things breathes no 
more, another heaven and another earth must pass before such a one can be 
again."

(From William Beebe's "The Bird: Its Form and Function," 1906)
