I’ve spent hundreds of hours with Pied-billed Grebes over the years and this is one of the few times I’ve managed to document this fairly unusual behavior. Its purpose/function still eludes me.
Photographing bathing birds is always fun but getting quality photos during all the pandemonium isn’t easy, especially when a black bird with a white bill is involved.
