Red-necked Grebe (Podiceps grisegena), Lake Havasu, Mohave County

This Red-necked Grebe was found and photographed by Michael Woodruff on 30 December 2015

Casual (though increasing) migrant and winter visitor. 

A medium sized grebe, smaller than a Western and larger than a Horned, with large mostly yellow bill, and a blocky triangular-shaped head. The cheeks are white and the black cap extends just below the eyes. The neck exhibits some slight reddish brown coloration laterally, and is whitish anteriorly and dark brown posteriorly.
