'Some other divers' is the correct taxonomy.

I've seen others where they called them "some diver".

I wonder if they aren't trying to clean up calling them hell divers not knowing they are grebes? My dad had always known them as hell divers and another guy I hunted with said he didn't know them by any other name till a few years ago too.

It's weird... I have literally seen hundreds if not thousands of them in my life. I know they get from northern Canada to Louisiana every year. Yet I have never seen them fly. I'm pretty sure they don't walk there. So, I am left to assume they teleport.

I have never seen one fly either. Once told a group at the ramp back in MI that they had one in their bag they were proudly taking pictures of. After explaining what it was the promptly chucked it into the woods.

I had no idea they even migrated, and thought they were resident. They might migrate at night like the coots do. Every year when the coots show up and we have a few foggy nights, they are apparently attracted to the lights of the I-10 Bayway, and get whacked by big trucks when flying too low over it. I've counted close to 50 dead when crossing the bay on the interstate in a morning following a foggy night in November :shock: What goes through a coots mind when he is hit by one of these trucks doing 70 mph?????........his asshole :lol:

We've had them on our place every year and we watch them fly around the cuts. I made a comment about these things just last weekend when we watched one make an approach and land near the blind. They look like a rubber chicken in flight, especially when landing... Not very graceful.... something like this......

That's got to be a long migration for those things.

You must have been hallucinating... we already determined that they are counted among the penguins, ostrich, and emu... flightless .

Penguins can fly. They just do it underwater.

:lol: I'll try to get footage of one in flight for your viewing pleasure. I'm sure I'll have plenty of opportunities to do so.

See the resemblance?

Regardless of its uncanny resemblance, that grebe is clearly jumping. Not flying. No animal would fly like that.
