Western Grebe (Aechmophorus occidentalis) photo by Larry Jordan
Don’t forget to check out my latest West Coast Beat Write post over at 10000 Birds. It’s all about Western Grebes and their breeding behavior. It includes a very cool video of a mating pair of Clark’s Grebes as well!

Hi there – is that a digiscope shot – I can never get that close to grebes – I think that they are a really difficult bird to get close to.
Splendid shot.

@Stewart yes, this is a digiscoped shot. One thing I really like about digiscoping is that I can get real close without disturbing the birds and changing their behavior. This is a full frame shot I took from a bridge as the grebe swam toward me in curiosity!
Wonderful close up of this beautiful bird. Great work.
