During a walk around Elm Lake at Brazos Bend SP yesterday afternoon I heard the calls of a Least Grebe. After scanning the water for a bit, I finally spotted the source of the calls. A single Least Grebe was being chased around by a Pied-billed Grebe. This went on for about ten minutes until the Least Grebe finally gave up and left the area, swimming behind one of the islands. Unfortunately, the confrontation was too far away to get any presentable photos.

About twenty minutes later I spotted the tiny grebe feeding near the shore. The sun had pretty much set but I did manage a couple of photos before heading home.
