Observation details
Elton first identified an interesting grebe. The bird was actively diving and only on the surface for a few seconds between dives. But quick looks through the scope strongly suggested Eared Grebe so we worked up the shore for closer looks and photos. Peaked crown and steer forehead; black/dusky face color clearly sagging below eye; bill sharply pointed and with slight upturn; and, fluffy rear.
