Red Necked Grebe and Prime Real Estate
Another shot from the boardwalk at Elk Island National Park. I am not sure how I noticed it, but am glad I did.
Most of the view from the boardwalk is of a little bay at the edge of Astotin Lake. With rising water levels over the past years many trees that were close to shore including these Willow were flooded. Now Willows loves water, but not this much.
I think that this must be a super location for a nest, sheltered to some degree from sight of predators, and sheltered also to some degree from storms containing hail.
There is no cropping on this one except to a wee bit off of the top and bottom to meet the proprtion of 1.618:1 which I am really liking with many horizontal formatted images. Detail in the Grebe could have been much better had I chosen to crop, but is more than sharp enough for me as this one is about the location. Waterfront Willow Estates...prime real estate...Location, location, location.
