Thanks, Brad! I arrived at E. Shore Park an hour after your posting and was able to see the Western Grebe in the distance towards that bluish-gray piling with a light that is north from the red lighthouse. The W. Grebe was still close enough to see with just binocs. It stood up in the water and flapped its wings, then a few minutes later, flew a bit towards Stewart Park.
All the photos people have posted helped me to identify the bird. I drove over to the park to get a different view, but did not see it again even though I went from one end to the other. Maybe it went into the Inlet? thanks again, it is a life bird for me!
