Pied-billed Grebe — size comparison — facts and sources

The pied-billed grebe uses calm vegetated waters for concealment and nesting. Local availability determines fish, crustacean and other small aquatic prey; amphibians matter at some wetlands.

Both build floating or buoyant plant-platform nests. Adults may cover eggs during temporary departures. Both care for chicks, sometimes carrying them on backs.
