... although low quality I wanted to show the Little Grebe (Dodaars) - you can still see the fluffy backside which earned the bird its name. Light wasn't good either on this overcast and windy day a couple of weeks ago...IslanderMV said:Nat_WA said:IslanderMV said:Pied-billed Grebe with fish.
Very nice Jeff! Is this one of the smaller grebes where you are living? It looks a bit like the little grebe I spotted a couple of weeks ago from a hide (unfortunately it kept its distance so I don't have decent pictures of "mine").
The little grebe is called "Dodaars" in my country, indicating the fluffy backside - which your pied-billed grebe also shows a bit
Wiebe.
Yes, the Pied-billed Grebe ( Podilymbus podiceps ) is the smallest. The bird pictured has taken up residence in a small local pond. In winter we also see the slightly larger Horned Grebe. We get the Red-necked Grebe every few years. All are in adult non-breeding plumage.
I will dig through my Lightroom catalog and post some picts.

And unfortunately it was too far away so this is a crop of the original, around 6% of the whole frame (in # of pixels).
Wiebe.
