Western Grebe. This is the most amazing underwater swimming bird that I have ever seen. I have observed cormorants for many years, and was always impressed by how far they could swim under water. From my observations, they can not swim at all compared to a Western Grebe. The first time that I watched a Western Grebe dive, I waited for what seemed like an eternity waiting for it to surface. When I finally spotted it, it was so far away from where it dived, it seemed impossible that it could swim that far underwater. I took this photo of a Western Grebe at Silverbell lake in west Tucson Arizona USA.

Hope everyone has been well.

Late afternoon collection of convection clouds over Hamilton Lake (Lake Rotoroa). Apparently they used to swim in this lake, before the ducks arrived. Perhaps under the proposed new water standards we could do it again. I don't think so!
After sunset, the Domestic Swan geese at Newhall Park swim from the periphery of the main pond to an island where they are safer from predators.

Between Tumbler Ridge and Dawson Creek in British Columbia, there are numerous beaver lodges and dams. In one short stretch along the highway, they have constructed a few dams that I am sure will have to come down soon, since the water almost rises up over the highway. I'm not sure how much that will upset the beavers, since their life mission is to construct whatever is necessary to stop the flow of water. They will just relocate a short distance and design and construct a new dam system.
The beavers are quite shy and mostly come out at night, so I have never had many really good photo opportunities. They glide around silently and to throw you off, they will swim long distances underwater. Any motion may trigger them to slap the water with their tails, signaling other beavers that an intruder is in the area. They can be quite curious though and if you sit quietly they will sometimes swim back and forth a few times, sizing you up. That's what this youngster was doing and I think we shared a few minutes as he swam back and forth... until his curiosity was satisfied and he went back to doing what beavers do best, building and eating.

Posting just to upload something. I'm really frustrated at myself for how horrible all the photos I've been taking are. Hopefully I'll make something good soon.
This is from the summer, and the post-processing was really frustrating and there are still things that i don't like. I like it because the water looks good but i don't like the colors very much. My face looks weird too. Oh well.
