Pied-billed Grebe

Podilymbus podiceps

Description:

This little bird - smaller than a Florida mottled duck - appeared swimming in my backyard canal. When a dog barked he instantly popped open his wings as seen in the second photo but did not fly off.

Habitat:

An inland fresh-water canal in western Boca Raton, FL
