gstacks Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 Yesterday near Denver. Are these both horned? And how do you know? I'm trying to get better at horned vs. eared. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
akandula Posted April 8, 2020 Share Posted April 8, 2020 (edited) Both are indeed adult Horned Grebes. Breeding Eared Grebes would have spread-out golden feathers on the head, a thinner black neck, and a middle-peaked head. https://www.allaboutbirds.org/guide/Horned_Grebe/species-compare/65058061 Edited April 8, 2020 by akandula 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
