Great Grebe (Podiceps major)

Tourist town on the lake.

2020-12-12: After getting rained on all day, we drove out, on a bad road, to the river mouth feeding Lago Villarica. We arrived to the empty beach, but per the usual, we were about 30 minutes ahead of the locals who started showing up in droves.
