  1. On a #qwerty keyboard, #GreatCrestedGrebes is one of the longest phrases that can be typed using only the left hand.

    Grebes are among the oldest of all #birds; #fossils from 80 million years ago have been discovered.

    They tend to be clumsy on land because their legs are so far back on their body, but they are great at diving - up to 17' - and pursuing prey underwater for up to thirty seconds at a time. They eat a lot of their own #feathers, possibly to protect against sharp fish bones.

  2. Late Winter, early in Spring most birds find their partner to build a nest... The love theater some species display to find a partner is breathtaking and worth waiting for to happen. One of my favorite love scenes is done by the #GreatCrestedGrebes
    Every year I’ll try to find a pair in time to witness this beautiful mating behaviour. Look at these 2... Is this love or what?

    2 #GreatCrestedGrebes harmoniously performing their mating dance ritual. So beautiful to watch and a reminder that Spring is close.
