Rushing Grebes 5863

I decided on my 2022 calendar theme - Western / Clark's Grebes, so you'll probably see a few more posts from my grebe sessions over the last three years or so. The "rush" is a super exciting courting behavior common to these two grebe species. It's preceded by all kinds of moves - water throwing, bobbing heads, among others. Then they line up, look at each other and they're off for the 100-yard dash. I probably posted another from this series, but they're closer to completely overlapping here, which I thought was kinda cool.
