Excellent! I love it’s position and the way you froze the motion of the water droplets in the air.

  Hi, It is alway stun to get to see these guys hanging around on the lakes in summer. Such interesting birds with their red eyes and long sharp bills. Hope you are having a great day.

  Thanks Eliza, the Western Grebes are such interesting birds both in looks and behavior. We have watched them doing their courting rituals but have yet to capture their famous dance. Hope your days going well.
