The
Red-necked Grebe (
Podiceps grisegena) is a member of the
grebe family of water
birds. In
summertime, adults are unmistakable, due to their red neck and white throat. In
winter, the Red-necked Grebe is duskier than most grebes, with no white above the eye, and a thick, yellowish bill. It is a somewhat large grebe, about the same size as an average
duck.
