The "Yellow banded Eared Grebes" upon further study turned out to be Horned Grebes as noted in the description below. (My other discovery was identifying a female Greater Scaup. My second trip I used a scope.) Horned Grebe: Adult alternate: see PHOTO at http://www.mbr-pwrc.usgs.gov/Infocenter/i0030id.html Head black with a golden stripe of feathers extending from eye to back of head Reddish neck and flanks,Dark back, White belly Thanks for catching and reviewing this item. At North Beach you might need a scope.
