Avery 2,208 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 I think it has its inner eyelid over its eye, but it still looks red to me. Even without the eye color as info we can tell this is a horned by the clean cheek contrast. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Tony Leukering 3,731 Posted November 28, 2020 Share Posted November 28, 2020 In the below-linked photo, you can see that even the grebe species most similar to Horned also sports red eyes... AS ADULTS. The photo also shows that young grebes in this genus (Podiceps) begin life with dark eyes. ML86285361 Eared Grebe Macaulay Library Quote Link to post Share on other sites
