I was able to walk at Delta Ponds this morning and, even though the water was really high there I did get to see some birds, including this Pied-billed Grebe in non-breeding rich brown plumage. They seem to favor ponds and reservoirs with dense aquatic vegetation, which is at present found in Delta Ponds. The bird was cleaning itself and then rose out of the water to flap its wings a bit. Since it was always moving, the wings and body are not tack sharp. But It was great to watch it, as I had never seen one take a bath before. :)
