Oh, crap..............
This poor eared grebe made the mistake of getting too close to the avocets' chicks. What ensued was a rather thorough beating and dunking of the interloper. The avocet closest to the grebe actually got its bill around the grebe's neck! When the grebe would dive to try and escape the avocets wrath, they would then pounce and continue to attack while the grebe was underwater. VERY protective parents!
Have a wonderful and Blessed weekend!
