A Western Grebe in the creek across from my house!

I woke up this morning, looked out of the window and saw this guy in the water! According to eBird, this may be the first Western Grebe in my city since 2013! Thanks for looking!

If I don't get the shots I want with the gear I have, the only optics I need to examine is the mirror on the bathroom wall. The root cause will be there.

Very nice, I also see them but they are way out most of the time.

Yeah, they are usually in the ocean but do come up the Columbia River to the Portland area. This is the first time I have seen one in Beaverton where I live!
