Post by: Henry on March 08, 2011, 08:17:42 AM

Hi Henry: Here is a photo of a rescued bird. It is not seen very much in these parts. If you would like to post it to see who can identify it. I do know what it is and will post the answer. John Schraven

I had thought of cheating and looking through Maryann's Bird Book, but Judi had this in no time.

I can't think of any other bird that has red eyes so it was a guess.

I was thinking grebe, but it was just a vague recollection, because my mom is a birder.  I didnt think I was actually right.
