Observation details
Dark back, top of head and back of neck. White on front of neck, chin and below eye to back of head. I was comparing these birds with nearby Eared Grebes and all of these birds had flatter heads, and a whiter cheek area. By comparison, the Eared Grebes had dark patches on the cheek, and a slight crest. The Horned Grebes were also whiter on the neck area. Of note, is that I was with a group of birders last year on 11/19/2011 last year, and we saw 4 Horned Grebes in the identical location. Photos taken.
