Always fun to see this, and even better to get a nice photo of it like this.

Lighting is a bit harsh but the action is stellar. These are one of my favorite birds and it's a unique shot

Wonderful action and i love the "expression" on the Grebe's face, Sandy.

Cute capture, Sandy. Excellent techs. And good to know there's still a bit of water in one reservoir, anyway.
