Correction, I meant to type HORNED GREBE not Eared Grebe. My first thought yesterday was Eared Grebe because there appeared to be a bump on the forehead, but then I had to correct for location as Eared Grebes live on the West coast. It had a white breast and neck and grey back (still in winter plumage), grebe-shape, diving like a grebe, smaller than a nearby Hooded Merganser and close in size to a nearby Bufflehead, dark bill, definitely did not have the thicker bill of a Pied-billed Grebe. The sun was setting, and it was getting harder to see.
We went around the point quickly thereafter, and there seemed to be many more grebe-sized birds around the northernside of the point, many smaller birds there, maybe bufflehead too...such a contrast to the large Tundra Swan seen there a few weeks ago. -- Cayugabirds-L List Info: http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsWELCOME http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsRULES http://www.NortheastBirding.com/CayugabirdsSubscribeConfigurationLeave.htm ARCHIVES: 1) http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/maillist.html 2) http://www.surfbirds.com/birdingmail/Group/Cayugabirds 3) http://birdingonthe.net/mailinglists/CAYU.html Please submit your observations to eBird: http://ebird.org/content/ebird/ --
