Eared Grebe (Podiceps nigricollis) - breeding adult
Eared grebes, also known as Black-throated grebes, are stunning in their breeding plumage! They have chestnut sides, black head and neck with golden feathers fanning out behind the striking red eyes.
Grebes are small aquatic diving birds, not ducks. They spend most of their lives in water and the speed with which grebes can submerge has earned them such names as water-witch and helldiver!
