What eats a Western Grebe?

Western Grebes are primarily preyed upon by larger Birds of Prey, such as eagles and hawks, as well as some species of mammals, including raccoons and otters, especially during nesting season. Their eggs and chicks can also be vulnerable to predation from various waterfowl and terrestrial predators. Overall, while they have some natural predators, their aquatic lifestyle helps to mitigate these threats.
