Grandpa Gray J Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 This little guy was apparently abandoned and found by my son's family in St George Utah yesterday. They turned it over to some wildlife professionals there to care for but were wondering what it was. I think it's a juvi Horned Grebe but not sure. If so it's kind of out of its normal range. Any help? 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

akandula Posted September 20, 2019 Share Posted September 20, 2019 Agreed. Immature Horned Grebes show red eyes, a much slimmer, longer bill, a clean white cheek, and black cap. Pied-billed Grebes are expected in your range: Taken from www.allaboutbirds.org: Immature Horned Grebe Nonbreeding Pied-billed Grebe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
