Horned Grebe (Podiceps auritus)
The Horned Grebe is a small waterbird belonging to the grebe family, Podicipedidae, known for its striking breeding plumage and elaborate courtship displays. It is native to northern North America and Eurasia, breeding in freshwater lakes, ponds, and marshes, and wintering along coastal marine environments and large inland waters.
During the breeding season, adults display a distinctive appearance: dark red eyes, black head, and ornate golden tufts or "horns" that extend from behind the eyes, contrasting with a chestnut neck and flanks. In winter plumage, the bird appears more subdued, with white cheeks and a gray-black head and back.
Horned Grebes are expert divers, feeding primarily on small fish, aquatic insects, and crustaceans, which they catch underwater with sharp, agile movements. They construct floating nests anchored in vegetation, where both parents share incubation duties and later carry their young on their backs.
The species is listed as Vulnerable on the IUCN Red List, primarily due to habitat loss, pollution, and wetland drainage in both its breeding and wintering grounds.
