About the Artwork
The Story: This captivating wildlife photograph captures a family of Clark's Grebes on the open water of the Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge, showing one parent delivering a fish to an eager swimming chick while the second parent carries another baby safely on its back. Grebe chicks rely completely on this back-riding protection to conserve energy until they are strong enough to navigate rough currents independently. As a conservation photographer, documenting these vulnerable families is deeply vital, as national Clark's Grebe populations are currently facing a steady decline due to human disturbances, pesticide runoff, and the rapid drainage of their essential nesting lakes. Explore this and other conservation-focused avian images across my online [Shop Birds of a Feather].
The Technique: Captured using a high-resolution Nikon Z8 mirrorless camera and a powerful 200-500mm Nikkor zoom lens mounted securely on a stable tripod and gimbal head. To cleanly freeze the family interaction across the open water, I utilized a precise exposure to balance the reflection of the ripples while maintaining a tack-sharp focus on the fine details of the parent grebe's striking white throat and the feeding chick.
