The Pied-billed Grebes on the big pond at Heather Farm in Walnut Creek =
are finally parents. This morning the mother was off the nest, which =
appeared empty. She eventually showed a baby on her back. Upon =
returning to the nest she uncovered at least one more egg. She had =
moved some of the wet vegatation to hide the egg while she hid under =
some willows. The mostly resident albino Black-Crowned Night-Heron and =
an immature Night-Heron were sitting in a willow nearby. =20
