Season's Grebe-ings from Maryland Bird Conservation Partnership! Here’s to a wonderful holiday season filled with the joy of #birds, laughter of friends, and magic of nature.
We couldn’t resist the pun - especially since the Pied-billed Grebe is Maryland’s only nesting grebe species!

Highly recommended read!
I’m biased since Roxie has always been a hero of mine. But I’ve got to say this book makes you a bigger Roxie fan no matter what you know of her. And whether you’re a #bird lover or not too. She was such an incredible person that overcame so much and accomplished so much.

You are ABSOLUTELY NOT going to regret listening to this bird:
A male rock ptarmigan (Lagopus muta) in winter plumage.
Ptarmigan is from Gaelic 'tarmachan' meaning "croaker". The p- was added when people mistakenly assumed it was a Greek word.
A bird forever warning people: "A werewolf!" (just in case of werewolves).

Oh hey there Ross! You’re looking extra cute today. No need to be shy and try to hide behind some veg. Congrats on claiming bronze for your species as our third ever county record! It means a lot that you stopped at a farm pond right down the road, and even more that G & I found you.

So far the most notable species we’ve had are ~100 Tree Swallows & 4 Common Mergansers. We hope you get out there & enjoy too. Birds are amazing!
