Guys,
Forgive my ignorance, but I really dont know what bird this is:
I know its a crappy picture (it was only a few dots on a 12.3 MP frame.. everything else water) because it was really far.
I did notice it frequently doops (goes inside??) itself in the water.. so it doesnt stay on the water for a long time.
Thanks. |

Dang she's fast. But yeah, that's a Clark's Grebe :-) If it counts in my favor, I don't have to google it to know this, but then maybe she didn't either...

Uhummm... its mid-peninsula in the San Francisco bay.
Let me put it this way: these birds might have been here, but I may have missed them because I wasnt shooting pics of birds until now. |

| Actually it is a Western Grebe. The bill color is not orange like a Clarks, and the black goes below the eye on the face (on Clarks's the black is above the eye). |

| You're all wrong. The scientific name for this bird is Blackheadredeyeus yellowbeakis. |

Thank you. We were asking in the other bird thread you started and where we're still arguing debating :) |
