Photo of Horned Grebe showing general shape, head shape. and general coloring. the yellow patch is not distinct, however.
Observation details
A horned grebe in breeding plumage was observed in the same general area as the one seen yesterday. In addition to what I saw then, I noted that the centerline of the nape in the back is dark from the crown and down to the back. The yellow patch on each cheek wrap around the head to this dark center portion of the nape. Poor photos due to resolution limits were obtained to document the sighting. They show the overall shape of the bird and its head, as well as the reddish brown coloring on the chest and neck. Lighting from the east (left in the pictures) throw of some of the coloring in the head area, from what was actually observed.
