Horned Grebe but sexes are similar so not sure how you can say male or not.

For more information about birding on the Seward Peninsula, Alaska join the Yahoo Group beringia_birders.

In Oklahoma its more likely an Eared Grebe.

An infinite number of mathematicians walk into a bar...

Eared Grebe.

Yes- I would agree with Eared Grebe in breeding plumage..

Definitely a Eared grebe.

Sure is an Eared Grebe. Just so you know, this bird is NOT a duck.

Ya I would like to switch my answer to a Eared Grebe

Didn't mean to offend ~ am fairly new to birding and much I do not know.. up until recently have pretty much just taken pictures of the ones I see around here ~ primarily an amateur photographer with birds being one of my fav. subjects and until recently have not come across ones that I didn't know or could not find in the Oklahoma Bird Guide.

No, no one is offended... (unless they are) there is always a first time.

Thanks I've lots of pics and have thought about posting in a gallery ~ ~Fav. Birding spots ~ There's the Wichita Mtns. Wildlife Refuge, Ft. Sill Military Reservation, Hackabee Flat Wetland Preserve which are fairly close but one of my fav. spots is out behind a baseball field near a creek that I visit during my lunch hour!
