Observation details
Found at around 10:30 a.m. off the beach near where Dune Trail meets the beach. Only had binoculars at the time and couldn't quite make positive ID. The bird was about 150 yards offshore at first, but kept drifting farther out, so I trudged back to the parking lot, pulled out my scope and went back to try to get a better view. Through the scope the dusky neck and cheeks that were less extensively white than would be the case for horned grebe were evident. See attached photos.
