A29C3407 Podilymbus podiceps

Pied-billed Grebe (Podilymbus podiceps) in breeding colors.

 

Over the winter I photographed a solitary grebe. I decided I was finished come January. Then in March, I noticed that the bird had changed to its breeding plumage, and, a second grebe had appeared. According to literature, the male is larger. Two weeks later, both had gone for good. The pond is empty of water birds again until next fall comes around.
