Birded around Theo Wirth Lake today at about 10:00 am. Found the following around the lake: Song Sparrow Fox Sparrow Eastern Phoebe Pileated Woodpecker - Carving out a football sized hole in one of the pines. Possible nest hole?
On the lake: Common Loon (1) Pied Billed Grebe (2) Lesser Scaup (~7-10) Out in the middle of the lake. Flew up and around then southwest. Possible Red-necked or Horned Grebe - Not a positive I.D. I caught a glimpse of the bird across the lake and chased him all around the lake. It would surface with just the head above water then slip back under. I must have spent 45 minutes trying - no scope with me today - but never got a good view. Will go early AM tomorrow to try again with a scope.
