| Just to round out a birdy week, above is a photo of a Pied-billed Grebe (Podilymbus podiceps) that I took a few days ago at Swan Lake. The stripes on its head indicate that it is a juvenile. I saw an adult of the species in breeding plumage at Swan Lake in April. To the right is a photo I took at that time. I suspect that young bird above is an offspring of last mating season. Below is an adult Pied-billed Grebe in non-breeding plumage, photo taken a few days ago at Swan Lake. Here we have the same species but in three different plumages depending on the time of year and the age of the bird. |  |

It looks like it's enjoying its time on the water.
Looks like a relaxing time for the birds.
