    Details

    Continuing large grebe showing black crown coloration extending below the eye, greenish yellow bill unlike the vivid yellow of Clark's Grebe. Picked up just like the other day, very far south of the pier, then walked to the southern end of the park's beach and viewed about 100 yards perpendicular to shore. Seems to continue hanging around the 'north mile' section of Back Bay NWR, then floats north on the currents to this area. Viewed for the duration with Robert Wood & Gary Witmer, then joined by Kathy Louthan on the beach as we were working back north.
