Today’s #BirdOfTheDay theme is #Cutie, cute bird captures.
Here's a Grebe and her grebettes (also known as "humbugs")-a very cute trio #Birds #WetlandBirds #Grebe

It's not just goslings. The same pond has moorhen chicks, a coot chick, ducklings and even (blurrily) a socially-distanced pair of tiny grebettes.

Original sight + sound…first you see only one Little Grebe then this happens….Grebettes are also nicknamed Humbugs for the distinctive black & white striped feathers & loud, fluffy appearance. #littlegrebe #grebes #grebettes #humbugs #birds #birdwatching #birdingtrip2026

Yawning, the parents are taking too long with food delivery for one grebette.

No, these are from a different location. The photos of the family with grebettes were from a park in Beaverton, Oregon and this one was in Ridgfield National Wildlife Refuge (@friendsofrnwr.bsky.social) in Washington.

Many thanks to @hardlikearmour.bsky.social for telling me about the grebe family at Commonwealth Lake. We had a lot of fun watching the parent grebes try to shove big fish down the stripey little chicks' throats. Great park.

Went back to Commonwealth Lake a month after seeing these grebettes there, and could only find one of them, looking much bigger and on its own now. #BirdOfTheDay #AmongTheRipples

My photo for today, 21st June 2025, a crested grebe with a pair of grebettes on her back this morning.

Have you ever wondered how young Clark's Grebe "grebettes" hitch a ride? Both parents share the job of back-brooding, keeping them warm and protected from predators. While one parent is busy ferrying their young, the other is foraging for food and they switch back-n-forth all day. 🎥: Lane Wintermute

Out taking it all in & recharging! Lots of Grebes & Grebettes high up in their nests

I also printed a little welcome note to the baby grebes that appeared in the pond yesterday. Baby grebes bring me joy. Long live the grebettes! 💕

grebettes is a great name!

They are ridiculous. @1184outdoors.bsky.social has great close-ups of stripey grebettes.

Love the grebe with its grebettes 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

with another fish of similar size and it looked like they were breaking it up better to feed it to the grebettes.

Young grebes, called grebettes, are wholly reliant on their parents to survive.

That means, this little one needed a lot of attention from her caregivers. 🧵2/6
