Baby Grebe Found...I think?

[Telamachus]

So I found this baby in the middle of the road on my way home... I think it may be a grebe from what I've google, but I don't know how reliable that is. So it it a Grebe or something else, and if so what do I need to take care of him?



I know they are fuzzy pictures. Sorry.

Welcome to BYC. Yes Definitely a grebe. Pie -billed I believe. He will eat small live fish or shrimp.

If you don't raise diver ducks yourself you need to find a loacl wildlife rescue or breeder that does that can raise it until it can be released back into the wild

I took him to our local wildlife shelter this morning . I hope he's happy there. 

One tried to move into my pen before i was letting them out in daylight, he didn't make it becase even though he was right near the other animals he was not in the shelter. I was soo sad.
