As children many of us heard the story about the ugly duckling that grew into a beautiful swan. I think that the eared grebe would have been a better star for the story then the swan. The eared grebe spends about half of the year in its grey, bland plumage but during breeding season they become spectacular.
I don't think I've ever seen one of those before! I think it's really cute, thank you for sharing it!

ReplyDeleteWOW-you are right! Is that really a glowing, red eye that it has?
ReplyDeleteWow, spectacular indeed!
ReplyDeleteInteresting looking bird, but as you say, perhaps a bit on the ugly side at this point in the tale.
ReplyDeleteLovely images shared of this beautiful Grebe~
