Horned Grebe

["Kristin Purdy" <kristinpurdy at comcast dot net>]

Well, it ain't a Curlew Sandpiper, a Green Heron, or a Tennessee 
Warbler, but I saw a juvenile HORNED GREBE in of all places, the manmade 
concrete-lined pond northwest of the Nucor Steel plant in north-central 
Box Elder County today.  At least the grebe is still classified as rare!

I also saw a family group of Ferruginous Hawks on the west side of the 
Malad River Valley between Nucor and the Washakie Indian Reservation.  
Two of the hawks were juveniles, one was a lovely dark morph adult, and 
the last one was a too-far Ferruginous.
