[Corax is the Journal of the Ornithologischen Arbeitsgemeinschaft for Schleswig-Holstein und Hamburg, e.V., Kiel.]— Despite a lack of formal ornithological training, Jan Johan (Han) Vlug has ranked among the most dedicated and productive students of European grebes for nearly a half-century. His early work documenting the major molting site of Great-crested Grebes (Podiceps cristatus)in the Ijsselmeer of Friesland (Limosa 47:16–22, 1974) was soon followed by a monograph on that species' biology and behavior (Wetenschappelijke Mededelingen K.N.N.V. 160:1–87, 1983). Subsequently, he turned to the Rednecked Grebe (RNG, Podiceps grisegena), a medium-large, mostly bottom-feeding invertebrate specialist that breeds in shallow, highly vegetated lakes in boreal and north temperate zones of the northern hemisphere. Although basic aspects of the species' biology...
