Assorted Grebes & Loons
Yellow-billed Loon (Gavia adamsii) is rare anywhere south
of Alaska. This juvenile bird spent a few days at Tempe

Grebe (Podiceps nigricollis) is a regular migrant that
sometimes winters in AZ. This bird was seen for 2-3 days
at the Water Ranch, in Gilbert, AZ. Least Grebe

states, more often seen in TX than in AZ. This bird was
regular at Sweetwater Wetlands in Tucson, AZ.
