With its led red eyes and golden eartufts the Black-necked Grebe is a magical beauty in breeding plumage. When the chicks are born they take a ride on the back of their parents. Back riding protects them from underwater predators and keeps them warm. Both parents take turns while the other takes care of feeding.
