Pied Billed Grebe

Description:

It's the birds call that attracted me to it. It would have been almost invisible otherwise!! The pied-billed grebe has brownish feathers and a short whitish bill. Its bill has a dark ring around it during breeding season. The pied-billed grebe is an excellent swimmer and diver. It often dives to evade predators. In fact, another name for the pied-billed grebe is the Hell-diver.
