Sam Smith March 13

[Fireweed]

Today at Sam Smith I saw a tundra swan, juvenile trumpeter swan and the usual swans.

I also saw what I am pretty sure were a pair of red necked grebes in the marina.

Along with the usual bufflrheads, mallards, gadwalls, etc.

We were at Sam's today but missed your Tundra & Trumpeter. However, amongst the usual suspects (28 species) we can confirm the Red-necked Grebes and Horned Grebes (winter colours) The most surprising sightings were our first Eastern Phoebe -very early, by the gardens- and a lovely pair of Blue-winged Teals seen from the observation deck.

Thanks for the confirmation on the grebes.   It helps my bird id'ing confidence!
