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.

Romeo and Juliet returned to the landing to stretch and rest.
