Some sort of polarising effect? Look at the row of glistening water drops on the bird's back too. Amazing.

Aside from a good paddling workout I also found the first few wintering grebes, in this case a Horned Grebe: http://www.wildlightphoto.com/birds/podicipedidae/hogr03.html I believe this is a first-year bird because of the orange eye. Adult Horned Grebes have a bright red eye (photo from earlier this year): http://www.wildlightphoto.com/birds/podicipedidae/hogr02.html tech stuff: R8/DMR @ISO 400 560mm f/6.8 Telyt shoulder stock & kayak 1/3000 sec @ f/6.8 All comments welcome.
