They are the smallest member of the grebe family. They are gray all over with a large white rump. The bill is pointed, and the eye is bright orange-yellow.
They are found in southern Texas, Central America, and portions of South America.
Was a lifer for me, and one I was very excited to find :)

Thanks Tom! It was a 9 day trip, and so far I'm on day 5 of uploading pictures, hopefully I can get done soon :) And I was really excited for you to see my screech owl in the tree shots, I was so happy to find one finally!
Great spotting Ashley and nice picture! Looks like you're having a great time is southern Texas with all your recent spottings.
