I'm the smallest in the Grebe family
I've bright golden eyes and white floof on my tail
And my color is darker when I breed.
I swallow small prey and my own feathers
When ever I need a meal
Feathers protect my digestive tract from bones
Which could be a quite painful ordeal.
(Special thanks to guest photographer and my sweetheart, David Simpson.)
