Least Grebe on the Coast of Southern California
Least Grebe on the Coast of Southern California.--On December 20, 1959, we observed a single Least Grebe (Podiceps dominiczrs) swimming ln the waters of the flood control channel in Mission Bay Recreation Area,.San Diego, San Diego County. It was approximatdy 50 feet fromwhere we stood on the road along the north side of the channel, and we watched it for a period of 10 minutes. This is, we believe, a first record for the Pacific coast of California. We are both thoroughly familiar with the species, having observed it on numerous occasions in various areas in the American tropics, as well as in the Colorado River Valley in Imperial County, California.-KEN STOTT, JR., and C.
