The courtship of grebes is quite spectacular: two birds with outstretched neck swim together and rise together with the breasts from the water. The birds with the head shake here and give each plant material. The birds then build up a nest of floating plants.

I remember seeing a girl swimming when I was a young lad and she sure made the water churn John. Great shot of the Grebes ritual.

JOhn dear,
I have been fascinated by the things they hold in their mouths, oops beaks [LOL], but mind you, even unsure of the nature of the material, I voted 10/10 in VB just now.
LOL

Yeah, right...Then he takes out the trash, mows the lawn, re-shingles the roof, fixes the porchrail, etc...Poor Mr. Grebe...

Nice presentation, though...

People aren't going to remember the things you do. They're going to remember how you made people feel. Be kind, gracious, and appreciative. Dan Winters - Photographer.
