awwwww -
Love that you got the decisive moment on this one - and the reflections
are nice too. How nice even to witness it.

Subject: PESO - Feeding Time for Grebelings
I don't know if that's really what baby grebes are called; I guess I should
look it up.
So the excitement is that for the first time that anyone remembers the local
red necked grebe eggs have hatched and no less than five baby grebes have
been spotted around the lakeside park near my apartment!
I was thrilled to spot this parent feeding a little one:

It was a one shot deal. The next dive the parent came up quite far away and
the little one drifted over, out of my range. I did continue shooting but
they were too small and blurry. I watched with fascination for half an hour
while mom or dad (don't know which) performed dive after dive, coming up
with a small fish each time for baby. Then they retired to their nest.
So this isn't the sharpest shot ever, but it was the only one I got. As a
document it's okay, but not a great nature photo, to very sure.
Still, I hope you enjoy it. Comments welcome.
Cheers,
frank
