Red-necked Grebe on Nest.

[Karl Egressy]

They have four chicks. The fourth one is hiding.
This image was taken nine days ago at four MP.
Thanks for looking.
(The chicks were much bigger on this past Saturday.)

What a great find. Cute little critters. Light may have been a little harsh, but a wonderful moment captured. I hope you'll share some more. They should be getting old enough for some head angle training.

nice find, I only saw twins when I was there last summer. I like the composition, DOF and exposure ( knowing how difficult water can be )

[Enrique Patino]

Awesome find. Intriguing image.

nice capture Karl,nice family pose,I think the lighting is a touch harsh,but a nice image.

Fun image of this family, Karl. Love the chick on the right that's looking away, he looks like a troublemaker. The colors look just a bit washed out, maybe the light was a bit harsh, but I think this could be fixed in processing.

Nice family picture. Good clean nest, and I like the reflection. I'd have preferred a better head angle on the adult. Perhaps some CW rotation needed.

What a cute shot! Though the light is a bit harsh, exposure is perfect! Well done!

You had a wonderful opportunity here Karl.
I like the leg position of the chick on the right hand side.Very cute!
Light quality addressed. Definitely a keeper though and a shot I enjoyed looking at,

What a great story you have here, Karl, and a super opportunity as Gail mentioned. I have done a quite RP addressing the washed out look and removed the reflection of the branch. I did a S/H layer, and then did a burn on most of the image, esp the birds. There is probably an easier way to do it, but I am no PS whiz.

Thanks Marina, thank you all. The repost by Marina is the one I like better. Good work, thanks.
