This morning I traveled to Marysville Reservoir in search of the earlier
reported Red-necked Grebes. I found them immediately upon arrival, they were
fairly close to the dike when I first reached the top of the dike. I
observed them along with a number of other waterfowl in that area, then
proceeded to walk west along the north side of the reservoir, to see if any
other notable birds could be found. I was surprised to find two Snow
Buntings in the rocks between the trail and the water.
A complete list of the birds seen is below.
