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.

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
I had a return visit to Weston Super-Mare on Monday to finally capture the sun setting directly in front of the causeway; which cuts through the marine lake on one side and the sea on the other.
I waited before, during and after sunset and as luck would have it this immaculately dressed dapper gentleman walked past in this long coat, hat and walking stick.
