From Sara Zagorski with Annette Cunniffe, the Rottino family, and Tim
Antanitis:
02/22/14 - Greenwich, Greenwich Pt -- After spending the entire day at
the point looking for the Eared Grebe with many other birders,

swimming in front of the tall orange buoy, at the toll booth entrance
area. Great looks in late afternoon sun.
