Shoot Me Monday

This cute, fluffy Pied-billed Grebe was shot in Lake Havasu, AZ after seeing the Nutting's Flycatcher.  They're always fun to watch dive.  Since they migrate at night and prefer to escape predators by diving rather than flying, they are rarely seen in flight.  Unlike ducks who have webbed feet, the Pied-billed Grebe has lobes on each toe that extend out to the sides providing extra surface area for paddling.
