[LRflex] The Red Necked Grebe (Part 3)

All:

Early this year, I sold several of my shots to an ornithologist, who 
has spent a lifetime specializing in Anhingas

and Red Necked Grebes.

However, in all his studies, he'd never seen an albinistic (let alone 
a full albino) Grebe, so he simply "had to have" my shots of one with 
it's mate and offspring.

When he found out that I had a shot of one of the offspring as a 
yearling, he wanted that one, too!  (This is the kind of customer a 
fellow can like!)

I now have a shot of the offspring, as a full adult. I was hoping, 
that as a two year old, he'd have found a mate and I might be able to 
get photos of the third generation.  However, this appears not to 
have happened.  If I am wrong, I'll keep you posted.

The sad news, is that the parents did not return to Tunkwa Lake this 
year.... not a good sign.

This is not a shot I would offer for sale... not good enough.  But I 
find the history of the bird interesting and thought you might too.

Oh... the ornithologist?  He's away until after the July 4th 
holiday... but I do expect to hear from him! ;-)

Comments appreciated, as always.  Thanks for looking.

Cheers!
