The Fly Catcher

Eared grebe. 500mm lens, tripod, 1/1000 @ f5.6, ISO 1600

I’ve been photographing migrating waterfowl lately and was extremely fortunate when this eared grebe decided to swim right past me. As he swam, he saw a fly on the water and successfully lunged at it. He was by himself most of the time but did spend some of his time following a larger western grebe around
