I was curious to see if this young bird was still at the boardwalk today, so I just hit the upper end Boardwalk near Galena. Sure enough it was still there although it seemed to dissappear for a minute and then I refound it. I think it starts diving and can be very difficult to find, you just have to be patient and search the ranks of Horned Grebes. The bird was then easily viewable for a while as it floated around next to the horned grebes, near the entrance of the boardwalk. Got to watch it preen and scratch its neck w/ its funny feet (not funny for a grebe I guess). This bird looks almost just like the first fall bird in Sibley's guide book. Other birds that were fun to see were about 60 Bonaparte's gulls and total about 15 Horned Grebes, some mallards, the white muscovy and bluejays, chickadees , carlina wrens and Goldne-c. Kinglets.
