Description
Pied-billed Grebes are small, stocky, and short-necked. They are 31-38 centimeters (12-15 in) in length, with a wingspan of 45-62 cm (18-24 in), and weigh 253-568 grams (8.9-20.0 oz).[8] They are mainly brown, with a darker crown and back (Podilymbus podiceps) is a species of the grebe family of water birds. Since the Atitln Grebe (Podilymbus gigas) has become extinct, it is the sole extant member of the genus Podilymbus. The Pied-billed Grebe is primarily found in ponds throughout the Americas. Other names of this grebe include American dabchick, dabchick, Carolina grebe, devil-diver, dive-dapper, dipper, hell-diver, pied-billed dabchick, thick-billed grebe, and water witch.I was lucky enough to capture this pied-billed grebe close enough to get a headshot. Fine Art America watermark will not appear on purchased artwork.
