Grebes
Order: Podicipediformes. Family: Podicipedidae
Grebes are small to medium-sized diving birds. They breed on fresh water, but often visit the sea when migrating and in winter. They have lobed toes and are excellent swimmers and divers; however, their feet are placed far back on their bodies, making them quite ungainly on land. There are 19 species worldwide. Of these, seven species have been recorded in Canada and the United States.
- Least Grebe, Tachybaptus dominicus LC
- Pied-billed Grebe, Podilymbus podiceps LC
- Horned Grebe, Podiceps auritus LC
- Red-necked Grebe, Podiceps grisegena LC
- Eared Grebe, Podiceps nigricollis LC
- Western Grebe, Aechmophorus occidentalis LC
- Clark's Grebe, Aechmophorus clarkii LC
