Four Horned Grebes on the North Basin in late September
Horned Grebe on Top
The Horned Grebe (winter plumage) often spends more time under water than on top, and frustrates the photographer. But then one comes along that stays on top for a while.

Western Grebe Pestering
One Western Grebe chases another with its bill wide open begging for food as if it were a fledgling in the nest. The other bird repeatedly dives and comes up with something to feed the beggar. What's going on here?
Western Grebe resting
This Western Grebe lay down and took a rest in the mud not three yeards from the rocks at the edge of the water, a rare opportunity to photograph a bird that's normally swimming and has a knack for disappearing underwater just when you' ve almost got it in focus
