185 Days until the US Open at Chambers Bay

I have been walking Chambers Creek Properties for years. I have been carrying a camera since 2009. With the US Open coming to the Chambers Bay Golf Course, which is part of the property, I have decided to share a picture each day for the 365 days leading up to the tournament. The US Open is scheduled to begin on June 18, 2015. As of today, we are 185 days away.

Today's Picture:

Taken on December 12, 2014

While most Red-necked Grebes (Podiceps grisegena) are on the Puget Sound. This one was seen recently on Chambers Creek. This allowed me to get closer than usual, which is the primary reason that this shot made my collection.
