Yesterday after finding the Surf Scoter at the Turner Rd
Ponds I also photographed a number of other birds.  When I got home and was working with the
photos I was struck by the fact that I had several different species of Grebes.  In fact I photographed three different kinds
of Grebes.  Starting from the top is a
Pied-bill Grebe, a very common year-around resident, but in it’s non-breading
plumage it lacks the distinct dark marking in the middle of the bill. Next is a
Horned Grebe, an uncommon winter resident. Last is a Western Grebe, also an
uncommon winter resident and probably the largest and most graceful looking of
the Grebes.
