HORNED GREBE
HORNED GREBE by Glenn Bartley ~ Horned grebes breed in vegetated areas of freshwater lakes across Europe and Asia. They also breed in remote inland parts of the United States and much of Canada. Most birds migrate in winter to the coast. Like all grebes, they build a nest on the water's edge, since their legs are set very far back and they cannot walk well. Usually two eggs are laid, and the striped young are sometimes carried on the adult's back.

Horned Grebe (Podiceps auritus) is a member of the grebe family of waterbirds. It is an excellent swimmer and diver, and pursues its fish prey under water.

Horned Grebe
Horned Grebe - Audubon. A small diver found mostly on northern marshes in summer, coastal bays in winter. Also widespread in Eurasia, where it is called Slavonian Grebe. Similar to Eared Grebe, but much less gregarious, it seldom nests in colonies and seldom gathers in large flocks at other seasons. Like other grebes, it must patter across surface of water to become airborne; may become trapped when waters freeze quickly overnight.

Pied-billed Grebe
Pied-billed Grebe - Audubon. The most widespread grebe in the New World, and the most familiar in most temperate parts of North America. Far less sociable than most grebes, almost never in flocks, sometimes found singly on small marshy ponds. When disturbed or suspicious, it may sink slowly until only head is above water. Rarely seen in flight. Often secretive in the breeding season, hiding in marsh, making bizarre whinnying, gobbling, cooing noises by day or night.
