Types of Grebe Species found in Mysuru:
Grebes are small to medium-large freshwater diving birds. They have lobed toes and are excellent swimmers and divers. However, they have their feet placed far back on the body, making them quite ungainly on land. There are 5 species which occur in India, 1 in Karnataka and I have found 1 in Mysuru
