Hoary-headed Grebe
The Hoary-headed Grebe (Poliocephalus poliocephalus) is a member of the grebe family found in Australia and New Zealand. It is a fairly small dark grey and white grebe. During the breeding season the adult's plumage has white streaks over its entire head (seen here), which is the source of the common name.Photo: JJ Harrison


Hoary-headed Grebe was not introduced to Australia

[edit]

It's an endemic bird in Australia. On Nov 9 69.115.25.160 edited the opening line to "make it sound better" to suggest the bird was introduce to Australia and New Zealand in 1975. This is false. Owheelj (talk) 04:09, 2 February 2013 (UTC)[reply]
