Happy Friday! Here’s a toasty little grebe on the water. The pied-billed grebe is a common and widespread species in the Americas, where it can be found diving for small freshwater fish, amphibians, and arthropods across much of the United States and Canada down into South America. 📸: Peter Pearsall #piedbilledgrebe #highdesert #oregondesert #greatbasin #malheurnationalwildliferefuge #friendsofmalheur

Northern Shovelers use their large, spatulate bills to feed on small organisms in the water. Sometimes they are observed spinning in circles while feeding, possibly stirring up a vortex of edible material that the ducks can then strain out with their bills. Every year, a few shovelers stay in Harney County through the winter, found wherever water remains free of ice. 🎥: Peter Pearsall #northernshoveler #waterfowl #highdesert #oregondesert #greatbasin #MalheurNationalWildlifeRefuge #friendsofmalheur
