Pied-billed Grebe

A small, chunky waterbird, the Pied-billed Grebe can be found in ponds on Galveston’s west-end.  It forages by diving or slowing sinking underwater.  The young can swim soon after hatching.

Look for parents and young along the marshy edges of the pond at the Edward and Helen Oppenheimer Bird Observatory at the Coastal Heritage Preserve.
