Great & informative video as always Mike. What I like most about your videos is you give hints & tips on how to get the shot of different species which I have used with great success in the past. Keep up the great work. 👍
some cracking footage. Great patience as ever. I'm not at all surprised that birds don't know what season it is. Thanks for sharing the video, they are always great to watch.
II had a similar experience with a pied bill grebe last year. I was never able to predict where it was going to come up but I saw that it was catching little black crawfish about two inches long. That was a good tip for fishing.
I am 74 Mike and just ourchased an om1 i, i have both the 75-300 ii oly and 100-300 ii lumix. After 4 spinal fusions, a pacemaker and 6 stents that's the upper limits of wt that i can handle. I do "run and gun" photography of florida waterfowl. My hat's off to you re your preparation, the gear you carry your patience. Would like to do more video but the brain doesn't switch gears quite fast enough. Thanks for the inspiration.
Splendid footage and narration. We have a good variety of grebes here in California; the same challenges apply when it comes to assessing when and where they’ll emerge after a dive.
Nice video as always :). Hope you get the 150-400 back soon.
Back now but not sure it is fixed
Another fabulous little video and what a beautiful little bird you found. Excellent.
Glad you enjoyed it

Creating a small island in a pond might help them breed. Especially if it is ringed with vegetation where they can hide their nest.
