Horned Grebe at the Celery Farm
My first ever here. And the spring arrivals are arriving! The grebe was No. 186 on my Celery Farm life…
Rob sez: "2 drake BLUE-WINGED TEAL were found by Fred at the CF this
morning–and were still there in the early PM. Viewed from
Pirie–difficult to find as they were sticking to a small area and
hidden behind vegetation most of the time.
"3rd year in a row that the first sighting of BW Teal at CF was 2 drakes together…
"Also present were GW Teal (6); Hooded Merg (f), Great Egret, Gr. Blue
(3); Palms, Rumps, RC King, Towhee (2), and a heard Com. Yellowthroat." (Thanks, Rob!)
