Copulation Red-Necked Style
Dear Friends, i know these are lousy images but i have to share this magic moment with my readers. The Red-Necked Grebes in our neck of the woods are pretty rare, but we have one pair that return every year. I watched them for three hours and witnessed copulation three times in that period of time, what a thrill, til Tomorrow MJ
Red Necked Grebe
Friends, having a ball working with my new lens, sharper and faster focusing than my old lens, not to mention more magnification (600mm). This lens for the money is a real bargain, so far the only defect is my shooting technique, but i am practicing for that once in a lifetime shot. This red-necked grebe is shy and for two summers has eluded me, but i spied him thru the dense blue stem grasses along phantom lake and was able to photograph without a distracting background. I love the color of the lake when it is slightly choppy as in this image. til Tomorrow MJ
