Juvenile Pied-billed Grebe (Podylimbus podiceps)
I'm not sure why haven't posted this photogenic little guy. I took this photo in early August and by now it likely looks pretty much like an adult.
Looking back
This juvenile has several brothers and sisters that I have only seen from a distance. But one day this little one was bravely swimming on its own quite close to the edge of the pond where I was standing. I was the only human there so no one had yet frightened it away.
Coming up from a dive, I think (I forget)
I am connecting to Stewart M's Wild Bird Wednesday HERE
The last one is really charming. Great set of wildlife images.

ReplyDeleteCute little chap. Occasionally a pied-billed grebe turns up in this country. But when they do you'll certainly not be on your own watching it.
ReplyDeleteBeautiful shots, EG!

ReplyDeleteI especially like your bird photos and the fact that you identify them for us who are not in the know.
