IMG: Horned Grebe

I spent yesterday morning in the kayak on Lake Natoma in eastern Sacramento
County, a few minutes from home.  Aside from a good paddling workout I also
found the first few
wintering grebes, in this case a Horned Grebe:

I believe this is a first-year bird because of the orange eye.  Adult
Horned Grebes have a bright red eye (photo from earlier this year):
