Pied-billed Grebe in Linn County by Ralph Reed

Podilymbus podiceps (pied-billed grebe) photographed from our canoe at Clear Lake, Linn County. Sony RX10iv, 600mm, f/6.3, 1/800. In October each year, vine maples and other plants growing out of the lava shores put on an intense display of color that reflects in the ultra-clear water. Pick a day with almost zero wind to watch the visual fireworks. PBGs are typically elusive, but fortunately this one was busy diving.
