 Liz Doull asked:
 
> I would like to ask you all if you have ever seen Horned Grebes this
month?? 
> If so, where are they found??  Does it mean there is a  serious
decline in numbers?? 
 
Since you said "ever seen" Liz, here are some of the locations/numbers
from '05 & '06 winters that were reported in NSBirds. As you'll see,
there is great variation in the number of reports and distribution, even
with just two years of historical data, and the numbers reported
consistently decline as we move through winter towards spring:

2006:

Dec. 13     Hampton, Anna.           2

Jan. 11     Port George, Anna.       6
