Hi everyone,

My wife and I went to Ocean City and other points on the eastern shore a
couple of weekends ago.  We tried to see the eared grebe off of 32nd street.
The water was very choppy and it was quite windy, so it was hard to tell
what we saw.  I got some long-distance photos and I was hoping some of the
experts here could take a look and tell me which ones shows which birds.  I
know a few people did see the eared grebe and the horned grebes there, so
hopefully one of you could use your memory to help tell me which is which.

Matt Hafner already told me that he thought the bird in the first two photos
is the eared grebe.  Thanks Matt!  Does anyone else have a conflicting, or
confirming, opinion?

The photos are here:
