From what I can tell, it is a horned grebe. The dark head on photo 694
with the white underside sells me on Horned Grebe with winter plumage.
Although I have started to see them showing more of the yellow side head
feathers lately.

Look like horned grebe to me. Far and away the expected species. TheRick Pope
photos aren’t perfect but does anyone see anything that rules horned out?

I'll always defer to the experts, but I think it is an eared grebe.
I have had a pair in my cove for the past 2 days. Along with 6
buffleheads, 3 males and 3 females.
Yesterday there were 5 female red-breasted mergansers and 2males.
Finally saw 2 Ospreys on 3/19.
