Alan's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #NOP, any bird name starting with one of these letters.

Here's a pied-billed grebe cruising Lake Terra. I'm glad these birds use our community pond as a migration waypoint.

Pied-billed grebe swimming low in the water, in profile and facing right, with its neck upright. The plumage is warm brown with a dark cap and a scruffy, slightly spiky crest, and a pale patch behind the short, pale tan bill. A white fluffy patch shows at the rear of the body, and the back is darker brown. The water around it is rippled and patchy, with blue sky reflections on the right and golden-brown reflections on the left. A faint, wavering reflection of the bird hangs below it.

#PiedBilledGrebes often look like tiny #NochNessMonsters in the shadows as they bob their heads in and out of water. They can dive up to 6 meters and hold their breaths for 30 seconds.

Today's #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Podicipedidae, any of the species.

Here's a pied-billed grebe on Lake Terra, looking rather sassy.

A pied-billed grebe floats on brownish-looking water, looking straight at the camera with its head tilted down. It's a brown bird with hairlike feathers that look slightly wet in this picture.
