Today was way different from yesterday. Yesterday over 30,000 mergansers, today 64. The big prize was a western grebe. The grebe was swimming to the east. It pretty much continued east without slowing down. The horned grebes and common loons did the same thing today. All were swimming to the east. Most were not doing any diving.
