Western Grebe
Observation details
Seen well through scopes in good light (bright overcast) and relatively calm sea from along Morraine trail about 3:20-4:00pm. Large grebe with bright white throat and breast, contrasting with black cap (that extends down to slightly below eyes), black nape and rear neck, dark gray back, greenish-yellow thin pointed bill. Bill held perpendicular (parallel to water) to fairly straight vertical neck. This probably same bird photographed in Old Saybrook by R. Smiley on 3/27; relocated here this morning by T. Green. Record photos obtained, to be included later.
