Pied-billed Grebe

Podilymbus podiceps

Description:

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.

Notes:

I was watching this grebe as it kept diving and finally it came up with a catfish in its beak!
