Horned Grebe 163 



Horned Grebe. — Columbus auritus. 13.50 



Rare Migrant 



Field meurks. — Feathers of head black and light brown, and 

 stand out like a monk's cowl, giving the bird a bizarre 

 appearance; upper parts reddish-brown to blackish; white 

 patch on wing. 



If one can get close enou^ to this Grebe to observe its 

 strange head, identification will be easy, for there is no odier 

 bird at all like it. 



Holbcell's Grebe. — Columbus holbcelUi. 19.00 

 A very much larger species, recorded here but once.
