Western Grebe

The Western Grebes (Aechmophorus occidentalis) were charming as they floated placidly on Skinner reservoir.  I saw approximately 12-15 in various parts of the reservoir.  Even though Clark's grebes and Western grebes are occasionally found together, I did not see any Clark's grebes (Aechmophorus clarkii).  




On the left bird, the Western grebe's bill is a real sword.  I would not like to be a fish.
