Observation details

I have seen these on Valmont for some time now. I first thought they were Horned Grebes, but I had been seeing some yellow on the bill. They are also larger than a Horned Grebe. Occasionally, I thought I was seeing a reddish tint on the back of the neck. Today I got some pictures, and the details indicate that these are Red-Necked Grebes in non-breeding plumage. Dark crown and cheek, yellow bill turned down at tip, whiteish chin and ear-patch.
