We checked Lake 6 and Mae Simmons from about 5pm until dark and weren’t able to
refind the long-tailed duck. We also didn’t see any of the eared grebes found
yesterday. But there was a Townsend’s Solitare allowing great views across from
the cemetery entrance :)

Good Afternoon Group,
We just got back from a nice walk around Dunbar Lake (Shruti, Priya, and
I). With Priya in tow, birding was not our primary purpose, per se, but
when we first parked in the parking area, there was a bird out in the
middle of the lake that stumped me, even with binoculars. I got some
photos (none of them great) but it has me puzzled. Still sorting through
what possibilities it could be, but I figured I'd pool from the real
experts, too. I've posted the photos to iNaturalist for those who use it,
and I'm attaching one photo here that I'm hoping goes through:

I just didn't want a rarity to go unreported, especially so close to the
Christmas Bird Count. Happy birding!
Johnny
