Not as fancy as the dancing of the Western Grebe but still fun to watch them swim around each other while calling out. Unfortunately, I followed 4 different nests this year and all 4 produced eggs but none of the eggs survived to hatching. Not sure what got them as one day they would be there sitting on the eggs and a day or so later the nest was empty and parents were either gone off the lake or out swimming by themselves.
This was shot handheld from my kayak with Canon 5DSR, Canon 300 f/2.8 IS II + 2xTCIII at f/5.6 1/1600 and ISO 640
Processed in LR with minor adjustments of contrast, saturation and then sharpening.
