Pied-billed grebes are often seen floating or diving on Florida’s lakes and ponds. This small pigeon-sized grebe has a short, blunt bill, which is encircled by a black band. These grebes are rarely seen flying, they usually dive and swim underwater when threatened. They feed on small fish, crustaceans and aquatic insects.
Some pied-billed grebes are year-round residents in Florida, and have an extended breeding season. Others migrate to northern states to breed and return to Florida for the winter.
Folk names of this grebe include Dabchick, Devil-diver, Dive-dapper, Hell-diver, and Water Witch.
I found this one along Alligator Alley Trail at Circle B Bar Reserve. Polk County Florida.

My spontaneous shot of another photographer's model on the steps of the Smithsonian American Art Museum in Washington, D.C.
Back to cruddy weather today, overcast and drizzly.
Interesting bird behaviour at Gordon Gardens' pond: this male mallard was one of two faithfully following a very patient female around (I know, drakes and hens, but I can never be serious about anything called a drake...). She left the pond and sidled up to me, probably expecting torn up bread slices and the two chaps, including this very dapper one, followed. I felt a little guilty not having any slices of bread to offer and they made their way back to the water.

Saw this dapper fella at Boyce Thompson Arboretum. Male Northern Cardinal. Mostly this bird inhabits the Eastern half of the US, but there is a good population of them here in Arizona. A picture of his mate in the first comment

in support of Gender fluidity & my daughter's choices.
Gender fluidity refers to change over time in a person's gender expression or gender identity, or both. That change might be in expression, but not identity, or in identity, but not expression. Or both expression and identity might change together.
