I wonder if Dennis Paulson might have a couple of pictures of juvenile
Clark's Grebes, with adults, taken at the American Falls, Idaho Shorebird
Festival trip to Bear River, Utah this year. We got a spectacular look at
this family and he took some pictures. I did not take good enough notes to
answer the question, but if we can get him to share, it would be great.
