Anyone know what this is?[attachimg=#]
Not sure. You could try http://www.whatbird.com though.
Looks like an adult, breeding, Red-necked Grebe. That's according to my Sibley Guide to Birds book.
Thanks. I did several searches before asking for help. You are both right. It is a red necked Grebe. I was able to prove it to myself using what bird? A buddy had given me that sight before, and I have used it before. I just could not remember the name of it. Thanks to both of you.
Sounds good Kathleen. Where was it photographed?
Handsome bird though!
Handsome bird, yes, and such beautiful blue water!
He is a good looking bird. This photograph was shot at Hauser lake North of Coeur d' ALene, Idaho
What bird is a fun site! I have it marked as a favorite, and didn't even think to tell you to look there; just looked for it in my book. That way I learn, too! :)
Nice shot, by the way. I like how he's coming into the shot and it's not cramped. He's got room to move. Nice catch light and colors, too. :thumbsup:
