Podilymbus gigas
A small diving bird with a chicken-lke bill, the Pied-billed Grebe is common on lakes and ponds across North America. It is rarely seen flying and prefers to sink out of sight when danger threatens.
On one of the many ponds off Stewart Road on Galveston Island.
The Gadwall looks similar, but the bill shape is definitely a grebe. Nice spotting!
