Pied-billed Grebe With Shad

I videoed this Pied-billed Grebe with Shad while sitting in my pickup at Charleston Lake. The Charleston Lake is in Charleston, Arkansas.

A pair of Pied-billed Grebe (Podilymbus podiceps) will come near the small dam to catch Shad every couple of hours during the early morning hours. Feeding on small fish, amphibians, and aquatic invertebrates are the main sources of nutrition for these birds.

To find food, they dive.
