p.1 #1 · p.1 #1 · The long lost red-necked grebe...


When I returned from vacation two weeks ago I went to check if the red-necked grebes I'd been observing had finally settled on the nest I had seen them building. But instead I only could see one grebe out on the lake and nothing at the nest they were building. I checked back a few times over the past weeks and again only saw the single grebe out in the middle of the lake. Finally this weekend I circumnavigated the small lake on foot and found a different nest site with the grebe on the nest and at least 3 eggs are in the nest. Seems a bit late to me as all the Horned grebes already have 1-2 week old chicks. But I hope these eggs will hatch and provide more opportunities to photograph the "zebra" chicks

Here are five shots from this weekend at the grebe nest...




1) A quick display to signal the changeover of nesting duties...






2) Arriving at the nest...






3) Nestorations...






4) Tending the eggs...






5) The other swims nearby...

Great set Geoff. "Nestorations" is probably my fav of the bunch. Good work.

You're on fire, Geofferson! Love this set, too! 3 and 4 are just awesome with a really soft light quality to them that makes them look almost like paintings. I'd pick 3 as my fav as it does give a sense of a behavioral story.

Thanks Birdie. I'm really hoping they hatch these eggs and I can share the story of the parenting.

Excellent set Geoff. Those eggs should hatch any day and if you are lucky will be there to see the great event and the first feeding
