Nosy Eared Grebe

Post image 1

On a recent trip to Oregon and the Malheur NWR a pair of Eared Grebes (Podiceps nigricollis) followed us around the shoreline of the Krumbo Reservoir. We don't see these too often in Idaho, so it was a treat! Learn more about these little birds on the Audubon website: audubon.org/field-guide/bird/eared-grebe.

Like a cross between a duck and a bird of paradise, where was this shot?

We were in Eastern Oregon, within the Malheur National Wildlife Refuge...The Krumbo Reservoir area.

That bright red button, is that an eye? That is amazing. Thank you for sharing that with me and everyone else. Love it!

It is the bird's eye...they have an amazing color pattern...a bit like a "punk."
