A Touchy Matter Of Gender
With Feathered Photography I face a dilemma when choosing pronouns referencing the sex of individual birds. In a recent comment a reader took exception to the way I handle it so I think it’s high time I explain why I deal with it the way I do.

Western Grebes are known to have an extended breeding season but this is getting ridiculous.

Light doesn’t get much warmer than this (but I don’t always like warm light on birds).
Western Grebes “Chick Dumping”
This is one of the more interesting bird behaviors I’ve photographed and it’s always entertaining to watch.
“Rushing” Western Grebes
The ritualized displays and courtship ceremonies of Western Grebes are among the most complex known in the bird world.
