Horned Grebe

Another first for me, or at least a first that was not taken from 200 feet away. Still it was at some distance so this is a pretty hefty crop, but I am fine with that. I think almost all birds are beautiful, but I think this has to be one of the most interesting looking ducks that I have come across.

 

This guy and a few others were spotted near the submerged bird house from a few posts ago. I sat patiently in the ditch and eventually he floated across my view.

 

I am not very familiar with these guys at all, so I am unsure of how accurate I have the colour, and it may sound odd, but much of the colour I am basing on the water, which is reflecting spring green leaves on trees in the background. The landscape has definitely changed in the last week as have many reflections.
