There were 4 winter plumage Horned Grebes diving just off the bridge. They are interesting little birds, especially when the sun catches in that bright red eye. We don\u2019t see them in close during summer, but they are often off the beaches here in winter. The are very active birds, swimming rapidly on the surface, and then diving and staying down for 30-60 seconds\u2026often coming up unpredictably 100 yards to one side or the other of where they went down. Not easy to photograph, but just to attractive not to try!<\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weiw.lightshedder.com\/MaineHome\/Around-Home-2012-3\/i-RQL23F6\/1\/L\/IMG_0467-L.jpg?resize=700%2C525\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weiw.lightshedder.com\/MaineHome\/Around-Home-2012-3\/i-vK6M6HD\/1\/L\/IMG_0488-L.jpg?resize=700%2C525\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/weiw.lightshedder.com\/MaineHome\/Around-Home-2012-3\/i-Pwrczbh\/1\/L\/IMG_0513-L.jpg?resize=700%2C525\" width=\"700\" height=\"525\" data-recalc-dims=\"1\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Canon SX50HS.
