    Saturday morning and again Monday morning I saw the young Common Moorhen at 
    the extreme northeast corner of the large natural pond in Heather Farm Park, 
    Walnut Creek.  It is starting to show some reddish-brown on its back, has a 
    white throat, and is showing a lot of white in the wings.  Mostly though, it 
    is a sort of ashy-grey.  I haven't seen either of the parents for a long 
    time.
