The Greedy Grebe

The Greedy GrebeSure that twenty pound bag of birdseed is enough? I only ask because if you live in one of the 46 states that the Greedy Grebe nests, it won’t be. This drab, well camouflaged bird is the picture of gluttony, emptying your feeder as fast as you can fill it. Attempts to find it and give it a good talking to will fail. This bad ass is unrepentant.

    All this for a little tasteless birdseed. Ah well, chacun a son gout, as they say in France.

    Also see Doddering Ole Dear, close cousin to this bird. Often seen hitting up the early bird buffet.

    Unsightly, I agree, but nature isn’t always pretty.
