Largest Grebe

This Western Grebe was fishing near the boat ramps in San Leandro Marina. We followed it up and down the small channel as it kept diving for food. Every now and then it stayed still long enough for us to capture a couple of pictures. The western grebe is the largest North American grebe. Large, slender grebe with long straight bill. Dark cap extends below eye, differentiating it from the Clark’s Grebe. Its bill is a fairly dull yellowish-green.
