it's so ironic how the chicks look NOTHING like the parents. i mean, they look like 2 different bird species! great spotting by the way. And a fun fact, did you know that great crested grebe parents actually take care of a few selected chicks over the others? harsh

Thank you Yuko! They really are very cute to see! This year I spotted them at a new nest site while they were feeding the new hatchlings. See: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/166...
