I rarely get opportunities with Horned Grebes but I got one yesterday. I’ve photographed this species a few times but I believe this is the first Horned Grebe photo I’ve ever posted to my blog.<\/p>\n

A fairly short post today. Yesterday’s post took a lot of research and time so this morning I’m taking a bit of a breather.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Yesterday morning at Bear River MBR I spotted this Horned Grebe lurking near the shore below me while I was looking at other birds much further away. I took lots of photos of ‘him’ but he was side lit so I preferred the shots where he was turned at just the right angle to the sun. In many of my photos he was closer to me than this but the steeper shooting angle didn’t appeal to me much.<\/p>\n

Horned Grebes can be difficult to distinguish from the much more common (around here) Eared Grebes when they’re in nonbreeding (basic) plumage. But that distinct white spot in front of his eye gave this one away as a Horned Grebe.<\/p>\n

I chose to post this particular photo because I like his reflection. For me the more red eyes the better and this guy has a plethora of them…<\/p>\n
