Observation details
Continuing bird found a few days ago, nonbreeding plumage, dark cap and lighter below with a more oval shaped head peaked only when alert. Dark red eyes and thin dark bill, bill was a slightly different shape than Horned which is the main Grebe to eliminate in ID. Dusky colored with hints of brown and gray throughout the body. Bill was slightly upturned and neck was a rusty color, bill also started black and quickly transitions to a gray/blue color. My first time experiencing this species in the nonbreeding plumage!
