Eared Grebe - From our Bird and Egg Collection

The Eared Grebe is a common waterbird easily identifiable by their dark throats, golden ear tufts, and bright red eyes, though depending on the age and season, their plumage can be duller and include more blacks and grays. They are quite small, usually around a foot long with a wingspan of about 20 inches (between the size of a robin and crow).

They can be found mostly in the western United States and Mexico, though they’ve also been spotted in areas throughout Europe. They live in lakes and ponds and build their nests on the edges of marshy wetlands. However, during migration season and winters they are likely to be found in saltwater areas.

They are excellent swimmers and divers which helps them catch all sorts of aquatic prey such as brine shrimp, flies, and amphibians. Though graceful in the water, these birds tend to be quite awkward on land. Their legs are located towards the back of their bodies, making it difficult to walk.
