Pied Billed Grebe at Quiet Waters Park

The weatherman delivered on his promise of sunny and warm, and I spent the morning at Jonas Green and Quiet Waters. The Horned Grebes continued in goodly numbers, but there wasn’t much else.
Quiet Waters was slow as well, but a I got some decent shots of a bird I haven’t seen often. I went back in the afternoon to see if I could do better, and I did. The two Pied Billed Grebes I had seen in the morning were still there, and much more cooperative.

I’m not a gull fan, but this Ring Billed Gull flew right in front of me.

When these Red Breasted Mergansers caught a fish, the other one would try to steal it.

I had amost despaired of getting a close shot of this Pied Billed Grebe when he started swimming toward me.
