Horned Grebe
Day 123 / 365
Perfect day for a swim and dive, but not for me, the water is still too cold. 🙂
Interesting Fact: The Horned Grebe regularly eats some of its own feathers, enough that its stomach usually contains a matted plug of them. This plug may function as a filter or may hold fish bones in the stomach until they can be digested. The parents even feed feathers to their chicks to get the plug started early.

I didn’t know that. Thanks.

I’m so glad I found this today! Some yo-yo has completely taken over my WordPress Reader and inundated it with stupid sports stories in which I have no interest whatsoever. (Pakistani cricket!) You wouldn’t happen to know how I can get rid of him, would you?
Thank you, I am pretty sure you can block him, but how I am not sure about that. Sorry I wish I can be more helpful. 🙂
I don’t know what is more fascinating -Your fabulous shots or the interesting trivia that goes with it ! Am enjoying browsing through. Fantastic blog !
