This young Horned Grebe was following Mom around a slough off 22X, being fed often. Taken on July 8th. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Horned_Grebe

I have a very long day's trip south of the city today, meeting time is 7:00 a.m., so won't be around. Lol, I started the day off with major cramp in one thigh and one foot (which I get so rarely) and my back kills. Just hope I can manage the hike, especially after a long, long drive! I'll probably never get the chance to go there again, so really wanted to go. I know I won't feel like uploading photos by the time I get home, so I'm posting horribly early this morning. Saw this Horned Grebe feeding his/her youngster at a slough along Highway 22X, on July 8th.

This Horned Grebe was swimming on the Glenmore Reservoir this morning. It came fairly close to the edge, but it was still too far away to get a decent photo. We were lucky to watch a line of Tundra Swans fly overhead, the white gleaming in the sun against the bright blue sky.
