I’m greatly skeptical that this Rednecked Grebe nest will be productive. It is ten feet from our dock between our neighbor’s dock and float plane. It is just about as busy a place you can find. The birds abandon the nest when we use the dock and are very agitated. Silly birds, a quiet cove is 50′ away. I think I’m going to call this couple the “Dumb Ones”, they chose the spot because an underwater log gave them an easy perch.
One egg already resides in the new nest.
More tomorrow,
