List of Non-passerine Birds of Korea - Grebes

Grebes

Order: Podicipediformes Family: Podicipedidae

Grebes are small to medium-large in size, have lobed toes, and are excellent swimmers and divers. However, they have their feet placed far back on the body, making them quite ungainly on land. They leave the water only to nest, walking very short distances upright like penguins. They can run for a short distance, but often fall over.
