[EBB Sightings] Five grebe species, Lake Merritt

This evening in the stretch of Lake Merritt (in Oakland) between the 
islands and the Embarcadero were a Clark's Grebe, four Western Grebes, 
at least a dozen Eared Grebes in full breeding plumage, and a couple of 
Pied-billed Grebes.  A Horned Grebe, also in full breeding plumage, was 
on the Lakeshore Ave. side of the lake this morning.  I looked around 
for a Red-necked Grebe, but that was too much to hope for.  Here are a 
couple of photos taken this morning:

Good birding.
