A grebe episode like this is rare in Utah, though this is not the first grebe event that I've I've helped with in the state. And yes the grebes were released in a lake 20 miles south and a much lower ellivation which means open water and no snow.
@PROFILESophiaYates - Cedar City (where they landed) is higher in the mountains than St George (where they were released). Lakes wouldn't be frozen in St. George. Good thought though if you weren't familiar with Utah.
hm if they were caught in a snow storm and these r some of the birds that survived a day later gee the weather sure cleared up fast to dump the survivors into a lake Im sure that has to be near by somewhere to where they landed. Im worried about this. Wonder if this will make the mainstream news?

@PROFILESophiaYates I read the lake is 20 miles from where they crash landed.
