Eared Grebe

You have probably already seen Joe & Harv's super shots of this bird, so I hope you don't mind a few more. The Eared Grebe is a rare visitor to the area and stayed around for more than a week. These were taken last Tuesday morning however when I went back Friday morning he wasn't to be found. While in the Cobourg Harbour he provided lots of birders a great view and lots of photographers some great close up opportunities.

Some great images you got there, Scott !
Thanks for sharing them with us.

Thanks Ed, glad you liked them.

Great shots Scott. I can tell you though, when he left there, he didn't come this way.

Very nice series

Lovely, Scott, a great looking bird and good shots.

Thanks Mitch...sorry he didnt show up in WI I'm not sure how misplaced birds decide where they go at this point, I trust he does OK wherever he went.

Thanks Stan & he certainly was a photogenic little guy.

Wonderful shots Scott....this is one I'll probably never actually see in person, they're such beautiful birds.

You can send him down here, there's a small pond in the woods! These are beautiful shots Scott, I'm happy that you got some images of this great looking bird.

Thanks Steve...he would like the pond but I'm not sure if he would get on the magic perch

Scott. I love that second one!! Details are amazing.

That is WILD Scott! I have never seen one of those. Great shots with excellent detail!

He gave you exceptional looks and the light is superb, along with the color and detail.... you don't get tired of seeing this stunning bird and your excellent work... a gorgeous bird and shots.

Thanks Dave, they are a beautiful bird and because of their body cycles can only fly about two months of the year (to migrate in spring & fall) and are unable to fly the rest of the time.

All are nice, but that second photo is super. Good work!
