Western Grebes

Last week I spent a lot of time watching Western grebes. Some of them found a mate, other were alone. Those who found a mate stayed together.

  1. It's beautiful you take pictures of them both ...

    Their special moments are both well recorded in these pictures.

  2. These birds are Western Grebes, Kaya, not Clark's Grebes. The difference is in the extent of the black cap. In Clark's Grebe the red eye is in white plumage, not black. Clark's Grebe is much the rarer of the two species, but they will sometimes interbreed. In fact Clark's Grebe was formerly considered a pale morph of Western Grebe. Great pictures!!

  7. I suppose it could be my imagination, but the pair in the first photograph appear to be radiating an expression of love for one another.

    Great photography, Kaya ....
