Grebes often mistake wet asphalt for water and, once grounded, they are unable to take flight again.<\/p>\n<p>Under normal conditions, you only see grebes swimming or in the air as they fly from one location to another. A grebe\u2019s legs are set so far to the rear of their body that they cannot walk on dry land and must literally \u201crun\u201d on the water surface with wings flapping to get airborne. Finding grebes stranded on land is a very common situation every fall\/winter season.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright size-medium wp-image-6831\" src=\"https:\/\/emeraid.com\/vet\/vet\/wp-content\/uploads\/pie-billed-grebe-release02-300x300.jpg\" alt=\"pie-billed grebe in water\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" srcset=\"https:\/\/emeraid.com\/vet\/wp-content\/uploads\/pie-billed-grebe-release02-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/emeraid.com\/vet\/wp-content\/uploads\/pie-billed-grebe-release02-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/emeraid.com\/vet\/wp-content\/uploads\/pie-billed-grebe-release02-768x768.jpg 768w, https:\/\/emeraid.com\/vet\/wp-content\/uploads\/pie-billed-grebe-release02-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/emeraid.com\/vet\/wp-content\/uploads\/pie-billed-grebe-release02.jpg 1200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/>With all other signs showing this grebe was in good condition, we administered a combination of EmerAid Intensive Care <a href=\"https:\/\/emeraid.com\/vet\/emeraid-carnivore\/\">Carnivore<\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/emeraid.com\/vet\/emeraid-piscivore\/\">Piscivore<\/a> for the next four days until the weather permitted her successful release.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Being stranded on dry land can be a death sentence for a grebe, but the Wildlife Rehabilitation Center of Northern Utah stepped up to save this grebe.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":11,"featured_media":6835,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"_themeisle_gutenberg_block_has_review":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[2],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6829","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-featured"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.1.1 -
