Resting Clark’s Grebe – Nikon D810, f8, 1/100, ISO 400, Nikkor 500mm VR with 1.4x TC, natural light
Autumn colors have begun to appear and they are delightful when reflected on the water with a nearly black and white subject like this resting Clark’s Grebe. Typically I would prefer an image like this more if the bill of the grebe were visible but I do like the relaxed pose and the clear view of the cherry-red eye.
It won’t be all that long before these Clark’s Grebes and their cousins the Western Grebes take flight and head to warmer climes for the winter but there are still a few weeks left for me to enjoy and photograph them.
Life is good.

Nice shot, yes, the colours are wonderful, in reflections as well as in the objects themselves.
So very peaceful. The warm autumn colors are lovely. This photograph looks like a painting to me. Beautiful work, as always!
