I decided to post baby grebe hitchhikers this morning in the hope they will have a positive effect on my current funk. I suspect some of my readers could use a similar attitude adjustment.
Have you ever wondered how a grebe swallows a crayfish with all those annoying legs and pincers sticking out? The answer is… it doesn’t. It amputates them first.
Grebes of all species very rarely try to walk or even come out of the water onto a solid surface. Because of their unusual anatomy standing and walking are almost impossible tasks but this one made the attempt anyway. The results were hilarious.
Yesterday I had a meeting with the new manager of Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge regarding questions and concerns I had about recent management decisions affecting the refuge. Here’s what I found out.
I have one suggestion for bird photographers, especially if you’re interested in behaviors. Don’t ignore our pugnacious friends the Pied-billed Grebes, particularly when they’re feeding. You’ll be sorry… (13 photos)
