The sungrebe or American finfoot is a bird which breeds in tropical Central and South America from southern Mexico to northeast Argentina and southern Brazil. These tropical birds of swamps and marshes have broad lobes on their feet, similar to grebes. These are shy birds which swim in slow-flowing streams and secluded waterways, sometimes partly submerged, like an anhinga.
