Western Grebe

I was initially disappointed with this photo, taken on 15 October 2020 at Olympia’s Capital Lake. The image is not quite in focus and the bird too distant. I hoped for a better result for my first picture of a Western Grebe from our home county, Thurston. I processed a cropped image and submitted it with my eBird list—the species is not so rare here, although this is only my third county record. I actually kind of like this un-cropped, un-enlarged version of the grebe swimming across the fall reflections on the lake.
