CLEARLAKE OAKS – After not seeing baby grebes for several years, a resident of Pirates Cove got a big surprise this week.

Marni Johnson spotted a family of grebes off her dock while drinking her morning coffee on Tuesday.

Seeing the babies and the dancing adults was a nice sight apart from “all the doom and gloom going on in the world,” Johnson said.
