Pied-billed Grebes are relatively small water birds (13.5"; 34 cm) that always seem to dive just as I'm about to snap the picture.
With their webbed toes, they are fairy fast swimmers, and may re-appear a good distance from where they dive. They catch fish underwater, and their strong, thick bills enable them to crack the exoskeleton of hard-shelled crustaceans.
