Im Winter, wenn diese plötzlich gefroren sind, wird dieser Grebe manchmal auf dem Boden, Eis oder Schnee gefangen, wo er erschöpft ist in seinen Versuchen, unfrozenwater zu erreichen. Es ist ein Vogel des offenen Wassers und vermeidet solche shlowand weedy Wasser, wie durch den Ried-billed Grebe frequentiert werden. Holboells Grebe wandert offenbar über den größeren Teil der Vereinigten Staaten und Kanada, und es ist überraschend, dass Solittle scheint bekannt zu sein, seine Gewohnheiten und Lebensgeschichte. Audubon gibt an, dass es sich von kleinen Fischbrut, Amphibienreptilien,

In winter, when these are suddenly frozen, this Grebe is sometimes captured on the ground, ice or snow, where it has fallen exhausted in its attempts to reach unfrozenwater. It is a bird of the open water, avoiding such shallowand weedy waters as are frequented by the Pied-billed Grebe. Holboells Grebe apparently migrates over the greater partof the United States and Canada, and it is surprising that solittle seems to be known of its habits and life history. Audubon states that it feeds on small fish fry, amphibiousreptiles, insects and vegetables. Dr. Warren found sand, blades of grass, small roots and feathers in the stomachs oftwo birds of this species. Knight states that as far as can beascertained its food along the coast of Maine consists of smallfish and surface-swimming crustaceans. In inland regionstadpoles and fish are reported as a part of the bill of fare. BIRDS HUNTED FOR FOOD OR SPORT. 43 HORNED GREBE (Colymbus auriius).Local or common names: Hell-diver; Devil-diver..
