These Crested Grebes spent the morning taking the kids for joyrides while the partner cares for the unhatched eggs. They seem to swap tasks every half hour or so. Enjoy.

I know some women do that too!...maybe they learned from the birds eh!..he he!

This is truly terrific Robert...I cam across a 'grebe' today...but ours are really dull compared to this!..

Great capture and cracking detail!...good camera work!

What a terrific capture of this family. The chick looks quite comfy on mama's back - he's adorable! Very interesting subject and fine details. They have a beautifully shaped head and crest. Thanks for sharing more of natures creatures. Great job Robert!

Fantastic looking birds. The big ones look like they are protecting the territory from all sides. The little one is so different in appearance and it must be fascinating to see them change into looking like their parents. Great post, Robert.
