A29C2314 Pied-billed Grebe
Pied-billed Grebe (Podilymbus podiceps)
The yawn. Another one of this grebes trademark muscle stretch exercises. Here, the bird is at rest in a bed of vegetation and I have pre-focused and have my finger on the button of a shutter release cable, waiting for 'who knows what' to happen. So, when it (eventually) performed the 'yawn', I was ready to get off a shot quickly to capture this behavior.
