Description
Western grebes are very common in the lakes around northern California. Summer months are their mating season. I’ve always found their mating displays and courtship rituals to be quite interesting. Pairs do a little “weed ceremony” where they dive together, come up with weeds and sort of wave them at each other. I caught these two getting quite amorous with each other at Eagle Lake in Lassen County, California, USA on a late July morning.

Amazing wildlife image, Mike! I've never seen a western grebe, never mind witnessing their mating ritual - how cool is that?!
