This is the time of year for the grebe chicks to start showing up - this was the first one I've sighted this year...it was busy following its mother around begging for food.

And here's the

being wooed by
some males in the
vicinity ...

I showed here
yesterday ...
As winter was easing
into the spring
... their
interaction was
becoming more
intense ...

Little grebes are
widespread residents
... but generally
slippery characters
... not easy to
photograph ...
... though
occasionally ... they
do give a chance
to take a closeup
shot ...
This is a male in
transitioning plumage ...

Although not uncommon these guys are not the easiest to photograph - no sooner have you got them in frame then they dive - I have a fine collection of photos of swirls in the water with maybe patch of white rump showing.
I need to tweak my editing skills, because the original was probably a little better. But, I did not realize that until it was too late. This guy sat still for quite awhile. Beautiful morning.
These little guys always seem to be deliberately uncooperative. LOL. But, fun to watch for sure. One of these days, I will catch one with a fish in its beak. Meanwhile, I will just enjoy the view.
