\"AdultStretching adult Clark’s Grebe\u00a0–\u00a0\u00a0Nikon D200, f8, 1\/2000, ISO 400, -0.7 EV, 200-400mm VR with 1.4x TC at 400mm, natural light<\/span><\/p>\n

This spring and summer I’ve a little been\u00a0disappointed by how few Clark’s Grebe images I have been able to take. One of the places I know about where I know I can find them rushing (looks like a water ballet), nesting, feeding their chicks and watching the juveniles ride on the adult’s back has been closed twice for weeks at a time. Once was due to roads flooding in the spring and now it is closed\u00a0to finalize some road construction.<\/p>\n

Clark’s Grebe with midges floating on the water –\u00a0 Nikon D200, f7.1, 1\/2000, ISO 400, -1.0 EV, Nikkor 200-400mm VR with 1.4x TC at 400mm, natural light<\/span><\/p>\n

I was able to take some picture of Clark’s Grebes this spring and summer but what I really missed was watching them interact with each other and with the Western Grebes I can usually find in the same location. I hope that there are still some around by the time those roads open up in September!<\/p>\n

Life is<\/em> good.<\/p>\n
