BRDL 25

 2/17/22 - WEGR - Western Grebe
Another tough puzzle. Once you get the 'WE' part and know that it's a western bird, there are a number to go through. Got it on the sixth try...
Have never seen a Western Grebe before -- they're mainly in lakes of the western US but I find it interesting that they migrate West -- to the Pacific Ocean -- during non-breeding times. Largest of the North American grebes, black with a white neck and face and striking red eyes. Known for a courtship dance where the male and female run along the surface of the water together.
