Partying Eared Grebe
Lower Klamath NWR is one of the most biologically productive refuges within the Pacific Flyway. Peak waterfowl populations can reach 1.8 million birds. The Eared Grebe is a small, stocky water bird with a thin, pointy black bill. This guy was in his distinctive breeding plumage that consisted of golden plumes on his face and a bright orange-red eye. He had a peaked crown, with mostly black with chestnut-brown flanks. He looks like he’s been out partying all night with his wild, blond hairdo and bright red eyes.
