These hooded grebes sure know how to dance! While this might look silly, these grebes are performing a vitally important courtship ritual. This serves more than one purpose, both to cement the alliance between the pair for the upcoming breeding season and to carve out some space on the pond to raise their future family. Grebes are fairly common water birds found in most parts of the world, so if you grab a pair of binoculars, you might just see this incredible dance display for yourself. Video C
