\"Clark'sA Clark’s Grebe and its prey – Nikon D810, f8, 1\/1250, ISO 640, Nikkor 500mm VR with 1.4x TC, natural light, not baited
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

Earlier this year I photographed this Clark’s Grebe and its prey at Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge<\/span><\/a> in northern Utah. This Clark’s Grebe was on the south side of the auto tour loop of the refuge swimming along in the water. I like the pattern of the reflections on the water in this image.<\/p>\n

The Clark’s Grebes have migrated and I won’t be seeing them again until spring but I am still seeing Pied-billed and Eared Grebes in the area and will until the water ices completely over.<\/p>\n

I am hoping to get out and photograph today… if the clouds will clear.<\/p>\n

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