For years, I have marveled images of Grebes carrying and feeding their youngs off of their back from Tim Kuhn. Finally, to my great surprise, sightings were reported at local ponds this past summer. Out "sick" for couple of days and these were the best I could come up with.

HEAVILY cropped with TC...They were extremely skittish.

Pretty darn good, I'd say. I'm lovin' the behavior shots of feeding the young. Persistence paid off! Now about that alibi thing......

These are a real treat to see Thang, fascinating sequence and the crops held up well.
Congrats on capturing some very cool behavior I've never seen firsthand.
Just what the doctor ordered.

Thang, Excellent series and something that I hope to see one day.
Glad to see you posting more my friend.

Bob

Great shots !!! I really like #3. This shot has it all.

Super set Thang!! It's amazing just how delicate the parents present the food the little ones, you captured that superbly Lucky for you that you fell ill when these guys were around

Tim

very nice set Thang

Interesting shots, Thang. First ones I've seen of the adults feeding the young, and a young one jumping ship to get fed.
---John

Are they not Clark's Grebes?

Tom

These are lovely shots and great behavioural shots - just love #1 !

Truly marvelous set, Thang.
And the last image is a show-stopper!
Charlie

Great shots. However, I think those are Clark's Grebes and not Western Grebes due to the dark feathers being above the eyeline.

First off, where you been? Hangin out at Landscape I suspect. These are wonderful and tender moment shots...full of emotion.
Eric

Fantastic set Thang!
Love the first and last.
