As the days lengthen in the southern hemisphere, these grebes begin to reaffirm their bond with all sorts of different displays. In this image they are raising their crests and and grabbing each others bills. This was taken yesterday morning in New Zealand's high country. It was a crisp spring morning and this mountain lake was very still.
