FOR WEEKEND REFLECTIONS and WEEKENDS IN BLACK AND WHITE. Thank you to the hosts of both these great sharing opportunities.
One more picture of the pied-billed grebe, my favorite bird of the season (because it was a new-to-me one). Here is a link to the post about my first sighting (when she had babies with her).
Grebes are water-birds but not ducks. They're a whole different family. Although usually seen swimming, they don't have webbed feet.
Came to see if there was something new!

Hope you are having a nice and happy week***

I like the natural lighting. Honestly, I cannot distinguish between a grebe and a duck.

Very nice shot in B&W--I love the reflection on the water. Interesting that they swim but have no webbed feet. Have a great weekend. Sallie. Mickie :)

Wonderful reflections in B&W, and I definitely remember your previous post about this grebe, with the babies on her back.
Yes, great to see her again.
