It was a cloudy morning, so I wasn't optimistic about getting good shots, but I needn't have worried. To start with, there were a number of ducks resting at the end of one of the long berms that stretches out into the water. On sunny days, that spot has the sun behind it, so all you see are shapes. Today I was surprised to see this adult Pied-billed Grebe (top photo) among the ducks - grebes usually stick to themselves - and I don't think I've ever noticed a grebe lying anywhere except on a nest. Sharing the spot with the grebe were these two male American Black Ducks, and one male Blue-winged Teal with wing outstretched (bottom photo).
