Description
Least Grebe and Its Reflection by Debra Martz
The Least Grebe is a water bird found mainly in the tropic Americas making its way into south Texas. I spotted this one on a day out bird watching around Port Aransas, TX. It was enjoying some sunshine on what is called Paradise Pond where you'll find year around residents and the migratory birds love the area, also.
According to All About Birds, "It is the smallest grebe in the Americas, the Least Grebe inhabits both temporary and permanent wetlands from south Texas to Argentina. Easily overlooked because of its size, coloration, and habits, it remains the most poorly understood of North American grebes."
Scientfic name: tachybaptus dominicusbird
