Two-headed Lake Monster? Not quite!
This Pied-billed Grebe sat quietly in the shallows as I passed nearby with my boat this morning. As I came near the bird sank out of sight below the calm water with barely a ripple to indicate that it had ever been there.
This morning was an outstanding morning of waterfowl photography. Species photographed included; Horned Grebes, Osprey, Mallard, Bufflehead, Red-head Duck, Loon, Gulls, and Canada Geese.
Fishing was good also and I returned with a nice catch of Bluegills destined for the frying pan.

Excellent mirror image - Could be the "Loch Ness Monster"!
ReplyDeleteIt is rather a querky photo! He does look monstery and creepy...all hidden away in the tall grass!You angled that just perfect!!...debbie
ReplyDeleteSalty, that's a great "capture". It looks like a smiling two-headed snake! Good job. I took my 100-400 lens out again and have been using it. I posted a Meadowlark photo that came out tack sharp. Sometimes I just don't know. If I'm too far away from my subject, then not so good results.
ReplyDeletePerfect reflection,crating a unique look.
ReplyDeleteBlessings,Ruth
Oh my, I adore the reflection, would make a wonderful jigsaw puzzle. You had caught him just at the right moment in the right position! A beautiful capture indeed!

ReplyDeleteIt sounds like a morning that you will remember. All you'll need to do is take a look at some photos to open the memory flood-gates. I love how photos have the power to do that.
