Pretty exciting news from Jackson County, these species hasn't been found breeding in Colorado before, though this species has been seen in the summer in this area before.  This is from the WSBN.

 Tresa Moulton of Steamboat asked me to post her finding today of a pair of red-necked grebes on Lake John in North Park near Walden. She found them near the campground and they were carrying nesting material. Tom Litteral in Steamboat  Springs.

This nest is in a very vulnerable location and the grebes are sensitive to human presence. It is important for the success of their nesting effort that birders and particularly photographers not be disruptive of the nesting effort.

Although I partially agree with this statement I was confused as to why a photographer in particular has more affect on grebes than other human or canine activities in the area.

To all,

Although I partially agree with this statement, I can’t find anything in the ornithological literature stating photographers are particularly disruptive of nesting efforts in Red-necked or other species of grebe.
