The Pied-billed Grebes are my favorite birds on the marsh, after the geese. It's worth taking the time to observe their behaviour, from building their nests, to carrying and feeding their young, to cavorting about in adolescence, to diving or sinking under the water and popping up meters away. Their loud calling sounds make up for their tiny size. I caught this parent (both share care of their young) feeding its chick on June 4th.
