Observation details
An unexpected time of year to see this species. This sighting joins only a few other records between July and October in Inyo. Female, photographed. Slender bill all the way to the base, and shaggy crest. Throat not contrastingly white, but evenly colored with the rest of the face. Another good mark for red-breasted is how close the nasal grooves are to the base of the bill; a COME would be more in the center of the bill. Observed in T36-1 east, frequently diving in the algae-covered pond. Perhaps a summering bird.
