Horned Grebe, adult, with non breeding plumage. Thanks to a dGrinner!

Cute little thing.
And I am clueless. Two bird books, and I have no idea how to ID it.

Can anyone here ID this bird??

It acted like a duck, bobbed, floated, bobbed, dunked, but it doesn't look like a duck. And the red eyes?
I am thinking that it is a juvenile, but I really do have no idea. There was just this one.....he/she was having a gay old time!

Magical Magnolia Sun Two, Sister Shot to
the one that was here last night.
I moved that one to Dailies, and put
this one here.

Enjoy. I don't know how I did it in the first
place, so I won't know how to do it again!
I had my eyes blinded by this magical sun!

Coots "skitter" before they fly. Actually these didn't fly, they just skittered around.
