I went out on a photo mission to Glenmere Lake first thing this morning. I was on the lake in my kayak before the sun was up, with the goal of trying to get some Pied-billed Grebe photos. Last year I got some grebe photos out at the Basha Kill, but this year I never saw a Pied-billed Grebe while I was kayaking there. I have stopped by Glenmere Lake without the kayak several times recently and noticed a decent number of grebes present. I was thinking it would be pretty easy to get some good photos by just paddling out to the birds. Boy, was I wrong. The grebes were VERY \u00a0aware of my presence and kept their distance and dove under when I got too close. I was thinking that the reason I was able to shoot the Pied-billed Grebe out at the Basha Kill was because the channels out there are so narrow, so I think they might get a little more comfortable with kayak\/boat traffic passing close by. I finally floated very slowly towards one grebe, the light was very pleasing, and I was able to shoot about 12 photos. Here is my best effort:<\/p>\n

I only had a little bit of time to be out this morning, but on my way in I found this Ruddy Duck, who was much more cooperative than any of the grebes, and the light was pretty nice too.<\/p>\n
