Is a horned grebe a reasonable possibility for Halifax Harbour? I saw two birds close to the Dartmouth shore from the Harbour Walk not far beyond Dartmouth Cove. They were along the stretch between the two sets of pass-through gates where the path crosses the tracks and then crosses back. I had a long look from a reasonable distance (but no binoculars along). Divers, and definitely the look of the Sibley illustrations with flat head and a fit with the description and size. The exception was that one bird in particular had white areas toward the rear of its back that seemed cleaner and more defined than Sibley shows. I haven't seen horned grebes mentioned recently, but maybe I have missed it. I would love a confirmation or probability rating. Cheers, Nancy Roberts Dartmouth, NS
