  1. pied-billed grebe

    A pied-billed grebe is a small, water-dwelling bird species, scientifically known as Podilymbus podiceps. It is indigenous to the Americas. These grebes are characterized by a unique black band around their pale-colored beak, hence the term 'pied-billed'. They are known to be excellent swimmers and divers, mostly feeding on insects and aquatic animals. The pied-billed grebe is typically shy and secretive, often diving to avoid human contact. Despite its ability to fly, it prefers to move around by swimming or walking. Its name 'grebe' comes from the French word 'grèbe' which means 'one that dives'.
