You might be a red-neck if you get up saturday morning at 7:00 when its windy and cold and rainy and drive for 45 min. to see some birds in the Clearfork Resevoir. Those birds were Red-necks as well, I saw all three RED-NECKED GREBES, but not together, 1 was going solo while 2 hung around each other. These are the ones at Clearfork Resevoir that were reported before. They were fairly close and when I first arrived the rain hadn't started yet and I got good views of them thru the scope as they dove and caught fish and did other grebe like things. Also there were 5 Common Loons, 3 Pied-billed Grebes, 15 Ruddy Ducks, 1 Mallard Drake (and one decoy Mallard drake near the spillway) and about 20 D.c. Cormorants. Also there were some Ring-billed, Herring, and Bonaparte's Gulls. This was all viewed from the gravel pull off you get to by taking 97 thru Lexington, turning right on Gass Road, and then making a left at the Stop sign. When I pulled back in my drive a bunch of Robins were scattering this way and that and then I saw the flash of an almost totally white bird, except for a couple dark tail-feathers on either side of the central ones, for a nice balanced effect. I quickly parked and grabed my bino's to confirm what I suspected was a leucistic Robin. Sure enough this guy had a tiny hint of red on the upper breast and a nice Yellow bill and Robin head/overall structure. He was stunning, with his Dark eyes, and except for those little patches of color he was almost entirely white. I alerted the other people in the house and grabbed my camera to take some photo's, I got some -not the greatest in the world but hey- and me and the fam watched the bird as he flew out into the yard and then into our crab-apple tree with his fellow Robin friends. Pretty cool and the first bird I've gotten to see like it. I'll Post my photo's on Buckeye Birder's webpage in its own file under the photo's link (if you aren't a member of the Young Birders Yahoo webpage, I guess you could join) http://groups.yahoo.com/group/buckeyebirders/ Fun times.
