The pied-billed grebe gets its name from the distinctive markings on its bill. The word "pied" refers to having two or more colors in patches, and in the case of this bird, it describes the dark ring or band encircling its otherwise pale bill.

The varied thrush has a unique foraging technique. They use a "leaf tossing" method, flipping over leaves and debris on the forest floor to uncover insects and other small invertebrates.
