The western grebe is the largest grebe in North America. They breed on freshwater wetlands in the western half of North America. In the winter they typically migrate to the coastal waters of the west coast of North America. They are fish eaters that usually catch their prey by diving under the water. I photographed this grebe at the Bosque del Apache in New Mexico last November.

This photo is great!
Great catch; by you both.
Great shot! I'll bet one of these birds can put a hurt on a fishing hole. Interesting how so many birds filter down through the center of the continent before filtering either to one coast or the other. You certainly live in a great area.
Cheers!
I haven't seen many grebe here and they are shy when I do see them.
Great shot!
Nice shot of the Grebe!
It's a beauty, for sure!
