29 Something that I'd never noticed before editing these photos is that basic-plumaged Horned Grebes have a narrow strip of red running from the gape to the front of the eye. Along with the pale tip on the bill (all ages and plumages) this is a good mark for separating this species from the very similar Eared Grebe (see next photo). Notice how the bottom of the eye touches the white in these birds and how there is small pale patch in the lores (in front of the eye) and how the dark does not dip down much behind the eye.
