Always a treat to run into some of these birds when we travel back east in the spring time. Like the horned grebe, they have an amazing transformation from winter to summer plumage. They have different names depending on what continent you live on. In Europe they are referred to as "Black-Necked Grebes".

Although we did not find any horned grebes at Frank Lake, there were a few of the eared grebes floating around. Here is an image of a mated pair in fairly close to the shore.
Forgot to mention, in Europe they are referred to as "Black-Necked Grebes".

We arrived at the venue when it was still dark so we were able to catch the first rays of sunlight. This image was taken with the 600mm and 2X converter at the equivalent of 1200mm.

Lots of these beautiful eared grebes up in some of the ponds and pot-hole lakes in the interior of B.C. This image is the result of a mixture of technology from three different companies. The Sony A92 MILC camera attached to a Sigma lens converter and a Canon EF-600mm F/4 with 2X teleconverter. Not bad results.
