| Notes |
- Notes - Scientific name: Tachybaptus ruficollis Local names: Kanisid, Suliasid (Tag); Gamao, Gimao (Vis) Family: Podicipedidae Other common names: Common/Red throated (Little) Grebe Conservation status: LC (Least Concern) Lives in lakes, marshes, swamps and ponds. Feeds on fish, larvae of water insects particularly those of the dipterous and orthopterous groups. Breeds twice a year from January to October. The nest is a floating platform of water weeds containing about 4 to 5 eggs. While still fresh, the eggs are greenish white but water, dampness and decaying vegetation turn them brown. Incubation is shared by parent birds with eggs hatching from 18 to 24 days. Chicks are precocious for they leave the nest almost as soon as hatched and are quite able to feed themselves.
