This Eared Grebe (Podiceps nigricollis) was found beached in Monterey, CA and was transferred to us from a partner wildlife organization. We had this bird on our live webcam, The BirdCam Project, for several days, where it recently showed off its flight prowess and eagerness to escape! Here, the bird is released in the San Pablo Bay by one of our intrepid volunteers.
Meanwhile, our Los Angeles center is also caring for Eared Grebes. Here’s a recent photo from the L.A. center by Bill Steinkamp.
