A couple of years ago I had the chance to photograph a Western Grebe in Lambton County. The Western Grebe has a black-and-white plumage with a yellow bill and red eye.
The Western Grebe is an elegant presence on lakes and ocean coasts of western North America. Along with its close relative, the Clark’s Grebe, it’s renowned for a ballet-like courtship display in which male and female “run” across the water in synchrony, their long necks curved in an S-shape. These waterbirds rarely come ashore, instead taking long dives to catch fish and other aquatic animals. Cornell All About Birds
