Clark's Grebe

Aechmophorus clarkii (Lawrence, 1858)

Podicipedidae — Grebes

Clark's Grebe, Aechmophorus clarkii, is a grebe of North America in the family Podicipedidae. It breeds from far south-western Canada, locally, through the central and south-western United States to central Mexico, and nests on large inland lakes in western North America. It also has local year-round populations in California, Nevada and Arizona, including the Lower Colorado River Valley, and in central Mexico. For a time it was treated as a pale form of the Western Grebe, and birds showing features of both are known.
