Four images of two young Pied-billed Grebes hitching a ride on Mom's back with Mom getting tired and dumping them several times in a short period, only to have them scramble back up. I discovered a few days later that there were actually three young. One must have stayed on the nest or was hiding in the reeds. Most of the time, only one young was visible, with the other hiding under Mom's canopy.

Up and away.


Off they go.


Back aboard for an other cruise.
