Horned Grebe — size comparison — facts and sources

The horned grebe breeds on northern American and Eurasian lakes and ponds and also uses coasts outside breeding. Pairs display on water and build plant nests. It eats aquatic invertebrates and small fish.

Adults may cover eggs when temporarily leaving. Both care for hatchlings and may carry them on backs, providing food before efficient independent diving.
