Karin Tanquist and I (Patrick Coy) returned to Lake Rockwell and Lake Pippin this morning to search for what we took yesterday to be a Western Grebe and to try to digiscope it (we had no camera along yesterday). After two hours of searching, we could not relocate the bird. However, it is not an easy reservoir to bird thoroughly what with the few roads, the many bays, and the Akron watershed trespassing restrictions. Still, there were plenty of good birds and we had many of the same species as yesterday, although there was likely some movement overnight with a few new species, e.g. Common Loon, Pied-billed Grebe, and differing numbers of repeated species. Highlights included the 64 Bufflehead, whereas yesterday we had only 2.
