This afternoon there was a first winter Red-necked Grebe on Hoover Reservoir. It appears to be molting into adult plumage. I saw this bird by parking at the Walnut St. Boat Ramp and walking north about 200 yards on the paved bike path. It was too far away for a digiscope photo, but it was well seen.
