Baby Red-necked grebes Have Arrived

     Three posts ago I showed you a direct look at Red-necked grebe nest. some of you wee interested in what the hatchlings would look like. I knew I would never get pictures as they don't stay long at the nest.


     People at the Nature Center did get pictures when the eggs hatched. So I'll give you a link that will take you to the baby grebes. My friend Kathryn wrote the blog and my friend Doug Pedersen took the pictures.

       Look hard to see the little guys and I hope you enjoy their post.

    I love the stripes! Baby grebes and coots really have a face only a mother could love! Friend Doug must have been tickled to catch the photos.

      I would think he regretted not having his camera instead of the phone.

      I'm sure a photo from above would be very rare.

    I wasn't expecting stripes either and he got them at a very young stage - so tiny.
    Thanks for the update Red.

      The fourth egg never hatched so I think they would leave very soon. I saw them yesterday in the same area. You could see the little one clinging to her back.
