Soon They Will Be Independent




I wasn't at Bear River for a few weeks and it was so refreshing to be there again.

Most shore birds have already migrated but a few families of Western Grebes are still at Bear River.  They are waiting when their young ones will be able to fly and feed themself on their own.






The family of Grebes I watched for a few months is still at the same place. Their chicks have grown adult-like feathers and they are much better at catching fish. 







The young ones also able to do different stretches and look often funny. 








It looks like the young Grebe is begging for fish.  But it's a time to fish on your own.









Safe and comfortable close to his mama.








Still very young but can dive easily.  A few more weeks and the young Grebes will be independent!

Generally, life is good!
