Yesterday, thanks to the spot focusing feature on my camera, I was able to get a shot of the grebe sitting on the nest I have been watching. I didn't get to the marsh today, and a fellow marsh walker informs me that this afternoon he saw a grebe with 8 to 10 chicks, possibly the same bird! That's a good-sized brood. Generally their clutch numbers 5 to 7. The parents will be busy with this family, as the young are very insistent when they want to be fed.
