Field Notes

Description:

This Horned Grebe was floating up river with a Pie-billed Grebe (spotting http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/22365177). I have never even seen these before!

Its "horns" are yellowish patches of feathers behind its eyes that it can raise and lower at will.

Habitat:

Chagrin River
