Pied-Billed Grebe Chicks are growing

Here are some more Pied-billed Grebe photos from a week ago. I've cloned out a couple of weeds in several of these to cleanup the water.

Canon 40D, Sigma 50-500mm on Induro Carbonfibre tripod.

1. Mirror image

Nice shots. 1 is my favorite, great reflection.

Good shots of some cute chicks

Wonderful to see these little chicks. #2 stands out for me because it's a little darker, and the reflection is very nice. Well done Stephen!

Great shots Stephen....Love the reflections, especially in that first one.

Very nice Stephen. Grebes are cute little ducks.

Agree on 1.

Terrific shots Stephen... I always maintain that the Grebes are the cutest bird on the water... and these images exemplify that theory perfectly...

Thanks Steve. I can still play with the exposure with some of these but we had heavy overcast to full sun during shooting that morning.

Thanks Dave. I've been very fortunate this year to have photogrpahed 3 families in the same man-made flood pond after having never gotten close this species before.
