The Clark's Grebe is very similar to the Western Grebe and you can frequently spot them together. The Clark's Grebe's bill is more orange yellow than greenish yellow. Both are black and white birds with the crown of the head being black. The black on the Clark's Grebe head extends to just above the eye.

Like the Western Grebe, the Clark's Grebe's are mainly fish eaters, but will eat small aquatic animals. A consistently good place to find them is Cesar Chavez Park in Berkeley, CA.
