Eared Grebe, mostly molted

Shoreline Lake, Mountain View

This bird is in nearly full breeding plumage, with just a few gray non-breeding feathers remaining. It was with other birds of the same species, one of which showed no sign of molt, and another -- possibly the bird shown in my picture http://www.pbase.com/tgrey/image/93752270 from a few days ago -- that was well-started but much less far along.

1/250s f/5.6 at 700.0mm iso200 full exif

other sizes: small medium large original auto
