Anyone know what kind of duck this is?  Its immature as it still has babe plummage.   I first thought merganser, but bill seemed wrong to me.  Grieb?

I just scrolled through the North american game birds book. And i cant find anything that matches that bill. I was first thinking immature Gadwall hen but that cant be right. Im interested in what it is also now.

Interesting.  Maybe a Podilymbus podiceps, the Pied Billed grebe?  :dunno:

That sure looks like a grebe

Bone, funny you should post that today. Last night I was thinking of your prior thread (couple yrs ago) of the wood ducks eating tadpoles if I remember right??? I couldn't find it in a search.

Eared Grebe, winter plumage?

Nevermind, juvenile Pied Billed Grebe.
