Pied-billed Grebe and Buffleheads

Two more wintering birds spending their daily life on Cambridge Creek and close to my balcony is a Pied-bald Grebe and two female Buffleheads.  Both of these tiny birds dive for food.

The Pied-billed Grebe has been very shy and stays mostly hidden under the marina piers.  It has been here on the creek since before Christmas.

I previously posted late last November that a female Bufflehead had been delighting me with its presence, and I shared several diving shots.

We now have two female Buffleheads that hang around, diving for food and resting.

They are a bit skittish and stick close together.  It sure is nice to have a friend!
