Nice shot! I have not seen this bird before. I have the Pied Billed Grebe here where I live. They are similar but in size only. A good shot here and was a pleasure to view!

And you photograph them so well! Wonderful image of this horned grebe,a duck you don't often see photos of.Great capture of his breeding coloration,well reflected in the still water,as though he was setting on a mirror.Love that bright red eye that really draws us into the photo.A Great photo of an interesting little bird!

As I like dogs...because birds are rara avis here! ;-))

We can't shoot birds here they way you capture them up close and personal...

Nice info notes.

Dramatic reflection...
With a dreamy backdrop.
Gorgeous illumination.

The red eye didn't show in the mirage...;-)

Thanks for sharing...

This is a great look at this grebe! I like seeing the colorful horns and the bright red eyes. The photo is nice and sharp with great detail. The water is a lovely shade of blue.

Excellent capture, Grace, showing this interesting Horned Grebe with his bright red eye showing his clear reflection in the still water. Very good lighting and focus showing a beautifully clear image. Great composition. Suzanne

Great shot! The soft, muted water background really makes your subject pop, especially with the reflection. You capture all the details in the feathers and I especially like the almost glowing red eye. This appears to be a tiny bird, and unassuming, but the red eye says "I'll swallow your soul!"
