Least Grebe (Tachybaptus dominicus), Pena Blanca Lake, Santa Cruz County

This Least Grebe was found and photographed by Dick Bierman on 06 April and photographed again by Brian Walsh on 08 April 2014.

A casual straggler to ponds in southern Arizona, this species bred at this location in 2011 but has only been reported sporadically since the introduction of Largemouth Bass to the lake.

Small uniformly gray grebe with thin bill and bright yellow eyes.
