[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note |
Little Grebe with fall colors in the local park.
The pied-billed grebe (Podilymbus podiceps) is a species of the grebe family of water birds. Since the Atitlán grebe (Podilymbus gigas) has become extinct, it is the sole extant member of the genus Podilymbus. The pied-billed grebe is primarily found in ponds throughout the Americas.
Pied-billed grebes are small, stocky, and short-necked. They are 31–38 cm (12–15 in) in length, with a wingspan of 45–62 cm (18–24 in) and weigh 253–568 g (8.9–20.0 oz). They are mainly brown, with a darker crown and back. Their brown color serves as camouflage in the marshes they live in.

Mario,
Excellent focusing job. I too have used the Canon 1.4 converter ... and, it's not that easy to focus well.
Need a lot of patience + the co-operation of the subject.
CONGRATULATIONS!!!
