"The Grebe Ballet" by Loree Johnson Photography. At the beginning of the courtship ritual known as the rush, grebes launch themselves upwards out of the water. It takes a few seconds for their feet to catch up with their head so they are upright. This is a pair of Clark's Grebes getting started on a rush at Putnams 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.
