"Grebes Flirting" by Loree Johnson Photography. Western grebes (Aechmophorus occidentalis) are known for their courtship rituals. In addition to "the rush," these birds spend time bobbing their heads, stretching their necks, and preening while swimming side by side. Photographed at Putnam's Point, Klamath Falls, Oregon.

Loree Johnson is a nature photographer and passionate advocate for the preservation and restoration of ecosystems and wildlife habitat. She discovered a love for photography late in life at the age of 50 while living in Yreka, California. The desire to travel and document nature induced her to take an early retirement from a tedious desk job and go on the road. During her travels through the Western U.S. for six years (2014-2020) she collected a wealth of rewarding experiences and unique photographs. She volunteered for several National Wildlife Refuges along the way. Loree experiences profound joy in nature, and believes that all people should have the opportunity to experience it, too.
