Western Grebe Mating
Rituals
(four photos)


These first two photos show some of the bobbing associated with
Western Grebes. I could
watch this all day because it's so fascinating and romantic (it's
undeniable).


When I took these last two shots I was in awe of the beauty of
these birds. Both had caught a fish. The female
swallowed hers right away and then followed the male until he turned
around, dipped in the water, came
quickly up and handed her that fish. The look on his face says it all
and she looks positively overjoyed (the
male is on the right). I felt privileged to be witnessing such a
neat moment. © Carol
