Another photo made while kayaking.  Birdlife on Lake Natoma (eastern Sacramento 
county) is near a low point for the year.  The Western Grebes and Clark's Grebe 
have not been seen for several weeks, but it looks like post-breeding dispersal 
has begun.  I had not seen this Horned Grebe on my previous kayak outings on 
the lake, and it looks like its breeding plumage has seen quite a bit of wear & 
tear:

I'm looking forward to the fall/winter arrivals.

Technical stuff:

Leica R8/DMR @ ISO 400
Leitz 560mm f/6.8 Telyt with shoulder stock
Easy Rider Sea Hawk kayak
1/4000 sec @ f/6.8

All comments welcome.
