Late Brood

Perusing the bog from on high, looking for any patches of mud (as if!)suitable for wader feeding, I became aware of a faint high pitched whinnying. Scoping the big boardwalk pond I was pleased to see 2 ad Little Grebes feeding 4 new chicks! I reported nest building on the pond way back in early summer but had not seen any chicks. They might have a chance now the herons have dispersed(there were over 40 adults feeding young!)and other predators likewise.
