Pied-billed Grebes can adjust their buoyancy and often use this ability to float with just the upper half of the head above the water. They catch small fish and invertebrates by diving or simply slowly submerging. They build floating nests of cattails, grasses, and other vegetation.

Not a very good photo, but it makes me wonder how big a fish they can swallow. I love to just sit and watch them dive for fish.

While I was creating this post and looking up information on the Pied-billed I came across this web-site. I was truly surprised to read that the status of the Pied-billed Grebe is Endangered.  Very sad.

This web-site lists information and fun facts about the Pied-billed and the reasons why they are endangered.
