I know pairs of western grebes run on water. But I was flabbergasted to see a pied-billed make several 100’ long runs late afternoon on March 11 at Lake Temescal.
Near the start of the run

A close-up of the fancy footwork (from a later frame that was better in focus)

The last frame of this run

Even the carriage of this pied-billed looks regal like a western grebe (I have a photo somewhere in this batch with an even longer neck)
