Pied-billed Grebe

Check out this great picture of a Pied-billed Grebe that Deborah Repasz captured on 18 pond on November 3rd.  The bird is known for its ability to control its buoyancy in the water, at times sinking to the point where only the top half of its head is visible.  The qualities it has that make it natural in the water, make it awkward on land.
