I was amazed when I saw this behavior in the first time.
The photos were taken at a local nature reserve.
Any comments or suggestions are welcome.

Impressive Kevin. What gear were you using and how close were you to the action? In a hide?

Outstanding images, Kevin. Well done. Two different species. One with the white over the eye is a Clark's Grebe. The other is a Western Grebe with black below the eye and a yellowish-dull olive bill. They are known to hybridize,

my significant other Deborah Allen wants to know if you have a male of one species (Western) and a female of another (Clarke's)? She asks because the black extends below the eye on one of your birds (Western) while on the other, the black is above the eye (Clarke's). However that should not affect courtship display which is what you seem to be photographing here - for that you need the help of a Grebe person or a good field guide to understand what is going on...

#8 is my favourite here. Incredible shots and a joy mixed with jealousy to view these wonderful shots.

Thank you Alan. I've used Canon 600mm F4 ii + 1D IV. No hide, the grebes just made a show for me.

Wow! These are crazy nice. I guess that's fitting to go along with those crazy eyes.

Outstanding work!

only if the male brings her a really big stick...


this is really a great series - one could use it in an Ornithology class or textbook to show courtship rituals
