The horned grebe or Slavonian grebe (Podiceps auritus) is a relatively small and threatened species of waterbird in the family Podicipedidae.[1] There are two subspecies: P. a. auritus, which breeds in Eurasia, and P. a. cornutus, which breeds in North America.[2] The Eurasian subspecies is distributed over most of northern Europe and northern Asia, breeding from Greenland east to the Russian Far East.[3] The North American subspecies spans most of Canada and some of the United States.[4] The species got its name from large patches of yellowish feathers located behind the eyes, called "horns", that the birds can raise and lower at will.[citation needed].
