    Pied-billed Grebe

    The Pied-billed Grebe is rarely seen in flight. It prefers to escape predators by diving, and it migrates at night.

    Although it swims like a duck, the Pied-billed Grebe does not have webbed feet. Each toe has lobes extending out on the sides that provide extra surface area for paddling.

    After hatching, the downy chicks sleep on the back of a parent, held close beneath its wings.
