While camping up in Cottonwood AZ, I had a few hours to shoot at Deadhorse State Park. It's one of my favorite places to shoot up there.
This little Grebe was just curious enough to get into my comfort range for some shots. Probably about 40 ft.

Nice. Grebes are fun due to plumage changes during the year.

Thanks John, Peter and Craig.

I'm pretty fond of these shots. It was worth laying in the wet marsh in 40 degree weather to get a nice low angle.

Very nice warm light and great low angle Jeremy. Well done. If you're not wet, muddy and/or stiff after a shoot, you haven't done it right. :)

Well done, Jeremy. And he looks dry-often they're underwater more than on top. Think I'll leave the laying in the mud to you:-P

Thanks Sandy, Steve,Al and Rog.
It wasn't too wet and nasty Rog, but Steve is right, if you're not dirty, you could have gotten a better shot. Ha.
