Last week I was checking my BirdKY and IN-bird (sorry, I can't seem to find a link for this one) emails, and saw on both lists that a Western Grebe was being seen at the Jeffersonville, Indiana waterfront overlook! I went down there to catch a glimpse. Afterall, this could be my only chance to see one of these guys! Even when I went out west a few years ago, I didn't see one!

Here he has his foot up out of the water. A very unusual looking foot, I must say! Kind of reminds me of an American Coot foot!

In this shot, he looks to be waving at us with his foot! He did this several times, I suppose he's just stretching!

He opened his mouth like this several times, but honestly I didn't hear anything. Maybe just a yawn!

As of yesterday it was reported to still be in the area! When you click on one of my pictures you will find a map on my flickr site! I hope you all get a chance to see this rarity!
