Description
This Western Grebe was gracefully gliding along on water which looked like liquid gold. It was spotted at the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge in early spring.
Western Grebes are crisp black and white, with a sharp transition between black and white extending down the neck. The head and most of the face are black, with white below the eye. The bill is yellowish or greenish yellow and the eye is red at close range.
The Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge and other wetlands associated with the Great Salt Lake provide critical habitat for migrating birds from both the Pacific and Central Flyway of North America. This area contains abundant food for birds. Birds come to the Refuge by the millions to eat and rest during migration.
