This is stunning. I've never seen the Eared Grebe in breeding plumage......what a beauty. The calm green water is so complementary......just about as perfect as you could get.

As Lana put it: "just about as perfect as you could get" This is how I feel about this image, Mike.

So nice Mike. That rich green complements the bird nicely. I've never gotten the eared grebes well so this is inspiration.

Superb shot. Such a gorgeous Grebe captured in surreal settings, the details, light and the green all make
this shot stunning.

Amazing how drab they are before they go into their breeding plumage. This looks fantastic and I love the water color and low shooting angle. Very nice Mike
