Grebes in Love (Spring is Almost Here!)


Lumix DMC-G5, Lumix 100-300mm

Here is a picture the same two Clark's Grebes from another angle. I was standing about 20 feet to the left of Dolph. We happened to see them towards the end of their courtship dance. Like Dolph said, it was fascinating to watch them being so playful with each other. We were a little late this time, so I'm hoping to go back here to see them or another pair next time.

I found a video on Youtube that documents the dance.

Link: to Youtube video.

History....I think we also like photos of lines, shadows, and texture. All of those elements are in this picture.

Nice....

Black Oystercatchers

Lumix DMC-G5, Lumix 100-300mm

These striking shorebirds do not usually eat oysters despite their name. They mainly feed on small mollusks along the shoreline. These were seen at Heron's Head park at India Basin. I like the vivid colors in their beaks and eyes, could they be SF Giants fans? :)
