Re: Grebe
Clark's or Western but I don't know if these shots are clear enough to separate them. Any chance we could see the actual photo #3 instead of 'back of camera'?

Re: Grebe
Agree, don't think it can be ID'd from these pics. First 2 was leaning Clark's but 3rd it looks like the eye might be covered which would indicate Western. The eBird pics I couldn't blow up enough for detail, got very pixelated.Charlie Spencer wrote: Tue Jun 23, 2026 10:05 am Clark's or Western but I don't know if these shots are clear enough to separate them.

Re: Grebe
I’d try to go to Macaulay Library link and download the original to get any sort of resolution

Re: Grebe
Sorry didn’t see that, that’s why I was confused. Wasn’t able to download the pics from Macaulay for some reason either, but going by the original pictures I would say then the first 2 are probably Clark’s. Hard to tell from the pictures but the eyes seem to be surrounded by white plus the flanks are much lighter then the third bird. The third’s eyes also seem to be surrounded by black so thinking that one is a Western.

Re: Grebe
Go to the Macaulay Library link for each then open image in a new tab and you should have good resolution then

Re: Grebe
I’ve been told there are Clark’s in there but would love additional opinions on that

Re: Grebe
I'm fairly confident the first two images that you posted are of Clark's, but I'm not 100% sure on that. The flanks do appear fairly white like would be expected, and the amount of black visible on the face is not super extensive. Not having a good view of the eye or the bill makes it tough.

Re: Grebe
Posting a cropped version where you zoom in on the bird before we do might improve your chance of getting an ID. Distant specks don't enlarge very well when uploaded to the forums so any help you can provide the viewers can go a long way.
