Those are three nice looking Grebes you got there Denis. Your Horned Grebe came out really good considering the not too good shooting conditions with the very choppy water.

It was nice meeting and shooting with you that day maybe Hall`s rd in a couple of weeks.
I checked out your Astro shots, Amazing!!!

Wow, that western grebe is really something. I'm actually a bit surprised a pied-billed grebe hasn't shown up in the pond, which would have made that a four grebe day.  :)

Denis,

That's a great shot of the Western Grebe.  If you haven't done so already, you should submit a rare bird report.  The Western Grebe is on the review list for Ontario.  This is probably the same bird that was in Port Credit last month, but I don't think anyone got a good photo of it there.  I think it was only seen well out from shore.  With Sam Smith Park being such a grebe magnet, I wondered if it would show up there, but your sighting is the first I know of.
