At the Yacht Club/2

From near/around the Coyote Point Yacht Club in San Mateo, CA, it’s grebes and things, from a couple weeks ago:

Pied-billed Grebe
Horned Grebe
American Coot
Pied-billed Grebe 2
Bufflehead (female or immature)
Pied-billed Grebe 3
Bufflehead 2
Pied-billed Grebe 4
Bufflehead takes a dive

The lighting was less than ideal on the following shots (e.g., back/side lit), but still a really great sighting of a pair of beautiful Clark’s Grebes in San Francisco Bay. ID: long, thin, yellow bill; black cap; eyes surrounded by white; and red line between eye and bill. (In the similar looking Western Grebe, the dark cap would extend below the eye.)
