Horned Grebe in breeding plumage
I have always enjoyed photographing the Horned Grebes. They seem so dainty and elegant. Then, come spring, they transition into a devilish appearance. We just have a short window in which to capture this phase, as they take off soon to their breeding grounds up north. It took me three hours of searching the Edmonds waterfront to find this guy, but I was then able to follow him for about 1/2 hour. I got him in all sorts of lighting conditions, so that made it really rewarding.

Is that clear enough that I am enamored with these exotic looking birds? I sure would love to photograph them in their breeding grounds, but that is far to the north.
