These little Grebes are usually skittish, but this bird is in a reservoir where there are constantly people jogging, walking or biking by so it seemed to be somewhat unafraid. Hope you enjoy.

Maybe he's too young to be afraid. He looks like a baby. :)

These are neat! I like the second shot best...great looking water, and the fluffed up feathers add to the cuteness factor.

Great shots Bob. I like the first shot best, with water drops in the air and the grebe showing behavior. Well done.
