GREBES IN HIDING

The Wetlands on the edge of the Lake are full of ducks and pie billed grebes.  But they really don't love to pose for me!  Here are a few I caught (barely) on a background shot of 'where the grebes used to be.'

 It is quite dry here in western Oregon — the wetlands are looking more like September than July – every morning when I walk there is less and less water and more and more grass.  

Another shot of the wetlands (also known as 'where the grebes probably are hiding'.)  The morning sky started out gray and cloudy, but it wasn't long before the sun was shining — and there was no rain.
