Breezy Western Grebe
I shot this grebe a few weeks back in a Nd slough. One of those days with too much wind to be in a floating blind, but sometimes you get lucky and come up with a good one. This is the only frame as I was being blown all over. I think it was blowing about twenty MPH. I came back a few days later and I got there about 4.30 am and knew something was wrong. Just didn't hear all the noise from the grebe colony. We had fifty mile winds and that destroyed hundreds of the nest in the colony. Some nest were just starting to hatch but I don't think many had hatched.
What struck me as weird looks like no chop in this part of the bay but look at those feathers. Optical illusion?
