    These little birds have fascinated me since I saw one submerge like a submarine. They are shy and constantly on the move, so it is difficult to get a decent shot of one.

    Pied-billed Grebe

    This is an adult transitioning to winter plumage, but still showing a bit of the black throat of breeding plumage even though it is mid December.
