Eared vs. Horned Grebe
by Roger Mayhorn
With a cap that's lower
Than his eye of red,
And a bill that's slimmer
On a taller head,
The Eared Grebe's neck is of a darker hue
Which makes the ID easy for you.
The Horned Grebe has a flatter head.
His cap is level with his eye of red.
His neck is lighter, his bill tipped with yellow,
Which makes it easy to ID this fellow.
