Important field characteristics are an upturned bill, dark cap cutting off above the eye...the grebes are shorter-bodied and much longer-necked. <br /><br />Awesome find and excellent mid-winter bird!<br /><br />- Gabe Leidy<br />Sheffield LakeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5797156419109968733.post-23322621111354327832012-02-12T16:19:09.820-05:002012-02-12T16:19:09.820-05:00I cannot help you neither but it does not look lik...I cannot help you neither but it does not look like a red-throated loon to me :-)<br />I guess you still have to investigate a bit ;-)chrishttp://chrisphotonature.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5797156419109968733.post-15260656096219915132012-02-12T12:31:21.009-05:002012-02-12T12:31:21.009-05:00Thanks Joan, The Stokes is the only guide I don...Thanks Joan, The Stokes is the only guide I don't have.
