Grebe With A Big Fish And Two First-of-season Bird Species – Yay!
Pied-billed Grebe – A Unique (and entertaining) Way Of Diving
Researchers have named at least six different diving methods in Pied-billed Grebes but I find this one to be the most entertaining to watch.
Pied-billed Grebe – Because I Love The Light
I usually prefer to shoot in early mornings. This image demonstrates one of the reasons why.
Grebes – Why They’re Such Good Swimmers
Podiceps, the genus name for grebes, means “anus-foot”. Unlike some Latin names, this one is well-earned.
Pied-billed Grebe – Just Because I Like The Light
A simple image but the light on the grebe and the dark, moody setting appeal to me.
Pied-billed Grebe Beating Up On A Fish
Pied-billed Grebe Making Its Escape With A Fish
Pied-billed Grebes are highly deserving of the “klepto” part of the term kleptoparasitism, especially among their own species. They’re an aggressive and threatening bird, chasing and attacking members of their own species and other birds too.
Pied-billed Grebe Investigating A Potential Feather For Swallowing
I’ve posted previously about grebes swallowing feathers as a digestive aid. Yesterday I photographed a Pied-billed Grebe with that very intention.
An Aggressive Western Grebe (and a difference in water-running style among grebe species)
For such a large bird Western Grebes can really scoot over the water surface when the need arises.
Grebes Eating Feathers (including two graphic images)
Pied-billed Grebe – An Entertaining Diving Technique
Pied-billed Grebes use several different diving techniques but the one called “gradual sinking” is certainly the most entertaining to watch.
Grebe Wing Flap (including a pose new to me)
I spend enough time with Pied-billed Grebes that it’s not often I see something new. Just over two weeks ago I did.
Pond Dramas
Sometimes one can sit at a pond full of birds when there seems to be nothing going on. But if you pay close attention there’s often a host of little dramas playing out right under your nose.
Grebe Running On Top Of The Water
I’ve long wanted a shot of a grebe completely out of the water as it ran across a pond. Two days ago I got it.
