I saw three different Grebes on Wednesday, 4 May 2022. I saw a Western Grebe again, which I'd seen in the same location a few days earlier. But there was another grebe out there that looked quite different. I was looking at it through binoculars and then looking away to my little sketchbook to make a quick sketch and notes about colours. Then I'd look for it again through that binoculars and find it and think "WTF did I just draw, that isn't anything like this..!?" It took me a moment to realize I'd been looking at TWO other grebes!?
I didn't really get any photos of these at all - I was so busy looking and trying to make notes I kind of forgot to (though if you look close you can see one in the pictures of the Western Grebe... I forget which one it was...?)

Cool! The horned grebe looks like a muppet.
ReplyDeleteI like the paintings, and how you did the reflections in the water
Ha-ha! It did look pretty weird! Thanks!
