Podiceps nigricollis
Abundant in Mono Lake. Unfortunately they were in non-breeding plumage, whch is less spectacular. Still a nice sight. (the one in the last pic shows some remnants of breeding plumage.) The black-necked grebe is 28–34 centimetres (11–13 in) long. The adult is unmistakable in summer, with a black head and neck and yellow ear tufts (breeding-plumage). In winter, this small grebe is white with a poorly defined black cap,
