This morning after breakfast I went over to the Millpond. It was chilly but the day was clear. Saw one Solitary and a Spotted Sandpiper and heard another of the former. A Hanger's point I saw a Grebe swimming out of a little bay. I went down there and it dove. I ran ahead and sat down by some flood trash. It came up just a few feet off and started to swim away. It nodded its head back and forth with a dove-like motion. Once it stood cleared up out of the water and shook out its feathers and settled them. When it turned its head away I shot and got it. It was a Pied-billed. I saw another farther off but could not find it afterwards. This ones stomach was full of feathers which it had picked out of its own body. Saw a Great Blue and a Green Heron. In the evening a Green Heron flew over town.
