Clark's Grebes, Great Salt Lake
In this image, a parent is bringing a meal to one of the eager youngsters, while the other is taking a ride on a parent's back. They will ride on both parents' backs until they are strong enough to navigate the rough waters by themselves.
After the breeding season, many move to so-called staging areas—lakes where they molt their wing feathers, becoming flightless during that period. Once their new flight feathers have grown in, most Clark’s Grebes migrate to saltwater or brackish habitats. Their nests are mounds of vegetation with a depression for the eggs in the center, constructed from aquatic plants and anchored to vegetation or an underwater log or root, making them less susceptible to wind and wave action. Nests can be 2 to 3 feet across or larger. Unfortunately, Clark’s Grebe populations appear to be declining. They are sensitive to many environmental changes, including pesticides and other pollutants, drainage of lakes, cutting of marsh reeds, and human disturbance. (Information from All About Birds.)
