Very interesting shots; I had no idea the young were patterned like that.

Thanks. I don't think any of the other grebe chicks are this colorful, at least in North America. These will show a faint pattern well into their first winter.

Nice stuff - I've never been able to get close enough to these get shots like these.
Thanks. I wish I could have been a bit closer. The nest was in some very dense cattails right by the trail, but she took them straight out to the middle of the pond and back.

Great stuff! These birds are so cute anyway, and the little ones are adorable! Great to see some shots of a whole family like this.
Thanks. This pair already raised two chicks this year, but I didn't get a chance to see them when they were small. So I was glad to get a second chance.
