You guys produce the most genuine birding videos in KZbin. Keep em coming. You make me want to visit places I never would think to go birding.

[@BadgerlandBirding]

Thanks so much, Corey! Glad you enjoy the vids!

I saw a least grebe a couple years ago at a lake next to Enterprise, Alabama. It accidently ended up in south Alabama after a tropical storm and it was awesome to see.

[@BadgerlandBirding]

Crazy!

[@blazertundra]

I can confirm rare birds have the weirdest favorite hangouts. One of the best places I know of to see rosy-faced lovebirds in my part of Phoenix is at a Mexican restaurant next to a super Target.

[@BadgerlandBirding]

Haha that’s awesome

[@pauraque]

I have this pit of toxic-sludge, meth, and various other needles and drugs lying around. It's awful and yet it's had first county recs like Pectoral and Semipalmated Sandpiper, European Goldfinch, Loggerhead Shrike, and even had a breeding pair of Yellow-billed Magpies in 2007.

Here in Mexico there are places where you can see up to 10 Least Grebes in the same pond, and they can get quite tame. I have to go take pictures of them one of these days

[@BadgerlandBirding]

They seemed fairly tame! I’d imagine they have many predators though.

[@efrainoctavio3506]

@@BadgerlandBirding Maybe in urban enviroments they feel kinda safe, because in the wild the aren't nearly as calm

[@VanessaG1229]

Another fun video! You remind me of myself whenever I visit somewhere new. I'm always on the lookout for new birds and trees.

[@BadgerlandBirding]

It’s the most exciting part about traveling!

I saw a little grebe last week and it was really small so the least grebes must be tiny

Sweet!

Testing testing

Testing 1, 2

[@edtanio549]

Wow ... I thought Little Grebe is the smallest ...

[@BadgerlandBirding]

I believe Little Grebe is the smallest European member of the family, but Least Grebe is definitely the smallest Grebe.
