Description
This is a Pied-Billed Grebe: Podilymbus podiceps
The Pied-Billed Grebe is the most widespread and best-known grebe in North America. It sometimes hides from intruders by sinking until only its head shows above water or by diving like other members of the group. This stocky grebe has a large head and short thick bill that gives it a chickenlike profile. The grebe forages by diving from the surface and swimming underwater, propelled by its feet. Half of its diet is made up of aquatic insects with the remainder split almost equally between small fish and crustaceans.
