Quite an exotic looking bird. I like the squawking photos. You'll have to see if you can get a shot of them with the babies on their back. I once had the chance to rescue a western grebe out of the middle of a highway (they can only take off from water and it thought the highway was a river and landed but wasn't able to take off again. So I moved it to a lake nearby (note they are mean and bite pretty hard). 
I could predict that by their red eyes and beak!
you are a kind person, full of many rare qualities...
Nahh I just like catching critters whenever I can lol.
You are the only person I know who has been bitten by a grebe, @sketch.and.jam! ❤️
Fortunately it only bit and didn't spear my hand. I had to get work gloves out to pick him up and put him in a dog crate we luckily had in the back of the truck.
Thank goodness you were there! ❤️
