The Western Grebe is a large, black-and-white bird that breeds in lakes and ponds across the American West and winters primarily off the Pacific Coast. It has a dramatic, choreographed courtship display in which it rushes across the water with its long necks extended. Photo courtesy of the Jim Serpa Photography Collection.
