Pied-billed Grebe and babies


This Pied-billed Grebe and three little ones were so far out on a pond/slough, but I really wanted just some kind of shot of them, especially the babies with their stripes and colour. There was a second adult at the slough, too, with three youngsters, so I am assuming that Mom and Dad each took half the family. Taken on a slough SW of Calgary yesterday evening, 10 July 2013.
"A small diving bird with a chicken-lke bill, the Pied-billed Grebe is common on lakes and ponds across North America. It is rarely seen flying and prefers to sink out of sight when danger threatens." From AllAboutBirds.
