Red-necked Grebe - Dolores County Groundhog Reservoir

[Jim Beatty]

Hi All,    I was surprised to see an alternate plumage adult Red-necked Grebe at Groundhog Reservoir in Dolores County at about 10AM today.  The bird was north of the camp ground on the east side of the lake.  It was too far out for photographs and since I was conducting a breeding bird survey, I couldn't stay very long.  I doubt it was 'breeding.'
