When I looked up it's Taxonomy, it said the grebe is in the order Ciconiformes. The way it looked, there are a lot of other birds in that order also, penguins, loons, albatrosses, etc. Has there been a 'new' ornithological 'conclusion' that says this, or is it just the way they had it on that site that made it look like all those kinds birds are in the same order? I know, silly question, right? Marcus James Columbia, Howard County, MD __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
