Dan P Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Taken 2-26-2021 in the afternoon at Puddingstone Lake in San Dimas, CA. There were 3 or 4 Grebes in this cove. A couple of them were Western Grebes (like the first photo). Then there was the one in the second photo. I never did see its bill, but is it a Clark's Grebe?

Connor Cochrane Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 Beware, as there is a pretty large hybrid swarm in your area. They're pretty rare (or really underreported) in my area, but I had my first one last weekend. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Candydez12 Posted March 4, 2021 Share Posted March 4, 2021 (edited) I have a Question if you don't mind. In the first picture, the eye is in the black. In the second picture, the eye is under the black, so why aren't they different birds? Thanks ? Edited March 4, 2021 by Candydez12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That’s the WEGR mentioned in poster’s text: “like the first photo.” Given the view in the 2nd pic, CLGR seems indicated, given the eye well below the black cap and the back corner of the meeting of white and black is strongly angled. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
