With a rare break in the clouds, Ashok was itching to get over to Lake Merritt in search of breeding plumage Eared Grebes. We found them, and a few other subjects as well, such as this beguiling American White Pelican. Our second stop was Berkeley Aquatic Park in search of the elusive Tufted Duck. We did find a few Scaup, but none of them seemed to be tufted.
