Field Notes
Description:
Pied-billed Grebes are small, chunky swimming birds. They have compact bodies and slender necks, with relatively large, blocky heads and short, thick bills. They have virtually no tail.
Habitat:
Look for Pied-billed Grebes on small, quiet ponds and marshes where thick vegetation grows out of the water. In winter they occur on larger water bodies, occasionally in large groups.
Notes:
the photo is of an adult in breeding plumage - bill is bluer and body feathers are grayish in color
