Hi, Good sighting Christine and Jacques for our EEO Circle for this time of year. Although size of birds in pictures or single in the wild are sometimes misleading the forward leaning neck and the bushy crest gives it away as an Eared Grebe. I had a Red- necked Grebe in alternate breeding plumage at the Russell Quarry Lake not long ago.I had some trouble with identifying that one too..That one showed showed a straight neck almost leaning a little backward. Yes birding is interesting, Good Birding, Paul
