These guys are sure are drab in winter when they are here on the ocean.
Several were feeding by a floating lobster boat dock that let me get a low angle - I hid behind a pile of lobster traps and got some 500/1.4 closeups.

Nice shot Bob, I would love to get a chance at one of these. By the way, where did you get a 500/1.4 ;).

Great shot! I love the perspective. He is swimming right into your lens.

I think Grebes are so cool. I don't think I have seen one around here with red eyes.

Do you use the bushhawk with the 500 ?
