Of Grebes and Windsurfers at the Ovals

.
Nature photographer Darlene Friedman of Novi, seeing our Saturday post about the Horned Grebes at Pere Marquette Park, had emailed asking how near to the wall the grebes were.  I replied close, so she drove over Sunday to get some photos.
.
The grebes were indeed close to the wall when she arrived, but soon afterward all wildlife was scared from the area by a windsurfer.  Question: Are those folks more often active during midday and afternoon, or is there windsurfing around the wall also in the morning?  I've not seen them during the few mornings I've been there, and it seems they might have a conflict with the fishermen.  Comments welcome.
.
At any rate, Darlene came back later in the day when the surfers were gone and did get some photos including this one.
