These small brown birds have unusually thick bills that turn silver and black in summer. These expert divers inhabit sluggish rivers, freshwater marshes, lakes, and estuaries. They use their chunky bills to kill and eat large crustaceans along with a great variety of fish, amphibians, insects, and other invertebrates. Rarely seen in flight and often hidden amid vegetation, Pied-billed Grebes announce their presence with loud, far-reaching calls.&#8221;<\/p><\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/hughvandervoort.com\/?attachment_id=26685\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-26685\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"26685\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/hughvandervoort.com\/?attachment_id=26685\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hughvandervoort.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/American-Redstart-100.jpg?fit=1012%2C1120&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1012,1120\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"American Redstart 100\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"\" data-large-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hughvandervoort.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/American-Redstart-100.jpg?fit=584%2C646&amp;ssl=1\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-26685\" title=\"American Redstart 100\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hughvandervoort.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/American-Redstart-100.jpg?resize=584%2C646&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"American Redstart 100\" width=\"584\" height=\"646\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hughvandervoort.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/American-Redstart-100.jpg?w=1012&amp;ssl=1 1012w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hughvandervoort.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/American-Redstart-100.jpg?resize=136%2C150&amp;ssl=1 136w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hughvandervoort.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/American-Redstart-100.jpg?resize=271%2C300&amp;ssl=1 271w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 584px) 100vw, 584px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_26684\" style=\"width: 1034px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/hughvandervoort.com\/?attachment_id=26684\" rel=\"attachment wp-att-26684\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-26684\" data-attachment-id=\"26684\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/hughvandervoort.com\/?attachment_id=26684\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/hughvandervoort.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/04\/American-Redstart-101.jpg?fit=1024%2C1098&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"1024,1098\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;created_timestamp&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;copyright&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;focal_length&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;iso&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;shutter_speed&quot;:&quot;0&quot;,&quot;title&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;orientation&quot;:&quot;1&quot;}\" data-image-title=\"American Redstart 101\" data-image-description=\"\" data-image-caption=\"&lt;p&gt;The American Redstart  has always been a nemesis bird for me.
