I have been watching a group of Pied-Billed Grebes grow up, with Mom not too far away, this summer. The juveniles are cute little things, and look very different from the adults. I thought I'd share a few pics.

A young Grebe is on the left, with a pair of young Coot. The grebes and young Coots hang together quite a bit.

These are really fantastic photographs. When you’re composing your close-up bird shot, the background is extremely important for ensuring an effective photo.
