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.
