Observation details

A couple hundred yards out but viewed nicely with a 20x-60x scope. Large, upright grebe - same size as nearby RTLOs and larger than nearby HOGRs. Dagger yellow bill. Clean, contrasting black against white on neck and head. Dark around eye. Black back. The photo below is poor but you can see the black and white pattern on the nape. (It was extremely difficult to take a photo because the large, choppy waves caused us to lose the bird often.)
