    Primarily a winter visitor and migrant to our area, this small grebe of Western North America often sunbathes by fluffing its rear feathers while facing away from the sun. This posture gives it a "high stern" profile as seen here. Often confused with the larger more crisply marked Horned Grebe...

    I've seen Pied-billed Grebe described as the American equivalent to Little Grebe, but as you can see, Eared Grebes are even smaller.

    Eared Grebe, methinks

    I think there were both Eareds and Horneds about. Hard to be sure. They look quite similar in non-breeding plumage. Horneds have somewhat thicker necks and rounder heads, but an Eared just up from the water can have that crested bit smoothed down and a Horned just up from the water can seem to...

    On the hunt for food for the little one. This is the first time I have seen an eared grebe. It was a challenge to get an image because they would swim out into the middle of the lake, way out of range. It took the whole week for me to get a few good images to share. Watching the Merlin and...

    One last trip to Elizabeth Lake before we go home. I tried to get a close image of these guys for the whole week and I finally got my chance. The mother was catching leeches and water bugs and bringing them to little one.
