    Eared or Horned Grebe?

    I saw this bird in Marblehead, MA where an Eared Grebe has been continuing each winter the past few years. There were multiple Horned Grebes at the location as well including one that seemed to hang out really closely with the individual I suspect was the Eared Grebe, this gave me great...

    One afternoon, three grebes

    I was lucky to photograph three species of grebe in one afternoon, from the same spot. From left to right: black-necked (formerly eared) grebe, horned grebe, western grebe. You can see their similarities and differences, side by side. My favorite is the horned grebe, what is yours?

    Horned Grebe

    This grebe has just captured a Yellowfin Gobi (Acanthogobius flavimanus) an invasive fish introduced from Asia, first detected in the Sacramento Delta in 1963. Note the pattern of rays on its dorsal fins which help identify this fish. Horned Grebe is normally a winter visitor to California...

    Horned Grebe

    Normally a winter visitor to California departing in May, we were surprised to find this one in full breeding plumage lingering into June. The blond horns are raised, blowing in the wind. Note the white tip to the bill, typical of this species. This is the North American subspecies "P. a...

    Third Act of The ritual

    This is the female. You can tell she is serious about this busness and wants to move on with it. As you can see, she has gone into the mud at the bottom of the lake for her material. She does not appear to be too concerned about her appearance either.

    This male Grebe has picked up some nest material. Notice how clean and neat he is. He has picked his material off the surface. Wait till you see the female.

    I tried for two days to get a half way decent shot of one these birds. They were pairing up apparently and were doing their dances, diving and running on the surface of the water.

    Play dead!

    This should probably have been my Saturday Fun Shot yesterday, but I'm just working my way from left to right, top to bottom, three a day, so today will have to do. Sunday silliness? Is that allowed? The young grebe isn't dead, or even playing dead. He was just trying out whether a cold dip was...

Good thing I got a lot of good shots in those 1000...

    Horned Grebe, Full Dress

    Horned Grebe has been the migrant of the year in our area for this year. They have been showing up here in more than usual numbers since early spring. In early spring we were able to see them in transition colors but now they are in full breeding colors and are quite a beautiful bird. This one...

    We have been seeing more Horned Grebes in migration this year than ever before. We usually see a couple during migration but this year they seem to be being reported every other day. This one was one of a pair swimming and fishing on a local pond. It is in partial transition to it's breeding colors.
