Pied-billed Grebe |
This Pied-billed Grebe, also known as a 'Devil Diver', is the smallest of the diving birds that hunt fish under the water. The small size and shyness make it very difficult bird to take a picture of. This shot was taken from the balcony of the Swan Club as the Grebe swam over towards the point where the Swans were resting on the shore. |
