Abstract
The Silvery Grebe Podiceps occipitalis (Podicipediformes, Podicipedidae) is a species distributed in South America that inhabits mainly open freshwater lakes. In Brazil its occurrence is rare. Here we present the first record for this species in Rio Grande do Sul state, Brazil. An adult individual was observed on June 23 rd , 2018, foraging in a small lake, in the municipality of Palmeira das Missoes. This record increases the regional knowledge about the Neotropical bird species that use the state in their possible migration routes.
