Eared Grebes

Shot these yesterday. The last 5 show some of their synchronized courtship behavior. Not the best images, but I thought they were interesting.

Nice. Interesting birds with LED eyes.

Good stuff, Ken. I've never seen these birds, so it's very interesting to me.

Nice shots. Never seen them here. Are these the ones that get up and walk on the water?

wow those eyes really stand out, interesting birds

We have those here. Those eyes really make you stop and look.
Nice shots.

Thanks for the comments. I'm glad some folks found them interesting. The eyes really are quite striking.

Stan, they winter on the Texas coast, but I don't know they make it into Florida much. These were the first I've seen in breeding plumage.

Mitch, I think the Western Grebe is the one that run on the water. These do a more subtle little dance where they move their heads ether together or in a mirror image.

Beautiful images Ken... I especially like the first two shots, they are excellent.
