Pied-billed Grebe
Podilymbus podiceps
Although not having webbed feet as most ducks, the Pied-billed Grebe has lobes extending out on the sides of its toes providing extra surface for paddling. A small diving bird, hunting mainly small fish insects and other aquatic life, it nests anchored within the heavy marsh vegetation of ponds, lakes and marshes across North America.Copyright Mark Tiefenbach Deepbrook Nature Photography
