I am linking up my Pied-billed Grebe with
World Bird Wednesday and Nature Notes
During our last visit to Bombay Hook NWR we sat and watched a couple of Pied-billed Grebes. They were swimming around and every once in a while they would dive. I think they are one of the cutest birds with adorable faces.
The Pied-billed Grebe nest on ponds and lakes and winters on fresh bodies of water and protected bays. They are warm brown in color, have dark eyes and a white eye ring. Their bill is short, black and banded.
This shot is a little fuzzy because of how far I had to zoom. But, I love it's adorable face.
It was hard to capture two of the Grebes close together, every time I would go to snap the photo one of them would dive.
Thanks for stopping by to see my post, I hope you love my Grebes too. Thanks to Springman for hosting World Bird Wednesday and to Michelle for hosting Nature Notes. I hope the rest of your week is a happy one.

A lovely little bird to see.. we had one over here a year ago... blown across the pond by one of the big storms..
They certainly look like happy little grebes! (not that I know a grebe from a dweeb, but maybe now I do).
Great shot for WBW!
Well done!
I love them! Saw my first ones last summer at "our" Oregon Lake -- and even saw one with babies on its back (one picture I'll never forget!).
these are undoubtedly some of my favorite waterfowl. so darn cute and tiny and full of spunk!!! :)
They're beauties Rileen. Boom & Gary of the Vermilon River, Canada.
nice shots of the grebe. We don´t have this one so it is a pleasure to see it.
you don't often think of birds having cute faces, but he does!
I agree - what sweet faces! You did a great job of capturing them - too cute!
They are so adorable! I just love the little banded beak!
I like how you've put all these pics together in several shots. We have them here but I have yet to find them. They're hiding somewhere:) I'd agree...their faces are quite agreeable:)
They are so cute with that little band around their bill! Great job!
How sweet is the pie-billed grebe with the little band around it's bill
These are such sweet-looking birds. And I loved those beaks!! Lovely series of shots!
They do have the cutest little faces. I was trying to catch two mergansers in the same shot today and ran into the same problem, one kept diving.
They are so cute!
You did a nice job with the watery reflections..I like these photos and your mosaic!
Wishing you a good afternoon Eileen~
I love the Grebes too, Eileen... They do have the cutest little faces... Thanks for sharing.
Hugs,

Cool sighting, Eileen! The close up is amazingly clear!
They are lovely birds, thanks for sharing.
A great series of photos. Those Grebes look like fun to watch.
I love grebes! They're fantastic little birds and quite shy! Great photos, Eileen!
You got some great shots there Eileen of that lovely little grebe.
Wow, they're so adorable, love them.
Thanks for sharing your beautiful photos.
Have a wonderful day.

Great little Grebe - they always seem hard to get close to.
The corellas do get around in big flocks - but this was a big one!

What a delightful little bird this is, I have never seen one or heard of it before, so thanks for this information.
They are beautiful birds indeed! Thanks for sharing as I have never seen one before..
You took some great shots of the grebes.
Sweet grebes!I'll have to keep my eyes peeled for these!
A smart bird that wears a black ring on its beak.
I never saw grebes before! You're right-their faces are really cute. :). Good job with the photos, and thanks for sharing!
HI Eileen...What an adorable little guy with that dark, and bill ring!!
I have never seen one in photo's before thanks for showing him!
I also enjoyed your post from yesterday ..all those Coots in a group super shot!! : }}

I agree with you, pied-billed grebes get my vote for cuteness and their chicks are even cuter, though I have never seen one!
I too love the Pied-billed Grebe Eileen! These are great shots of these little beauties. My favorite thing about Pied-billed Grebes? The way they sometimes just sink like a submarine!
Never seen one along my river - it's a lovely little bird isn't it and you got a good shot of its markings on the beak.
I agree with you about them being cute! The marking the bill is really cool too.
what a lovely series Eileen..I agree that the face is so sweet and what a treat to get to photograph them...Michelle
They're adorable!
Hi Eileen, I so like these water birds! They are very shy and you have done an outstanding job of taking their picture! They often dive just when I want to get a photo taken. Ha! Have a most wonderful Thursday tomorrow!
Sweet Shots...
Cheers Eileen!
They are cute. You are right they have adorable faces, a punk hairstyle and someone has bound up their beaks. They must be noisy.
They ARE cute - I also love bird watching!
Hi dear! What lovely shots...I lobe the bird and the reflections...
Hug you
Lovely shots. They really are cute little birds.
