Clark’s Grebe Back-brooding Chicks
Yesterday morning was windy at Bear River MBR but it would take more than a little wind to curb the curiosity and enthusiasm of the many grebe chicks at the refuge. I saw Western Grebe, Clark’s Grebe and Pied-billed Grebe chicks but I had the most fun with Clark’s.

I’ve never before been able to get this many sharp images of a bird in flight in a single pass.
A Cooperative Barn Owl In Flight
