Many of the horned grebes at Deep Bay are in full mating plumage now. It wont be long until they head off to their spring nesting grounds.

Got this horned grebe today displaying nearly full mating plumage. This guy is about 80 - 90% there. Not too sure how much longer they will hang around now before going to their breeding grounds but I am hoping to get more good shots of them before they do.

There was a lovely horned grebe at Deep Bay today in winter plumage. Just couldn't resist. If only they would come in this close in mating plumage. Got down on one knee for this shot.
