This sounds like the nest isn't used during the rest of the year. Strange. Do the adults and chicks sleep on the water? I guess if they do, it's protection from predators.

Jun 23, 2017 07:22 | #9533 Pondrader wrote in post #18383916 I hear ya, Catching them with the chick's just hatched is the kicker. I had to go out there every morning the last week, take a look and get nothing in the way of images. It really was fruitless for 30 day's, then on day 31 of a 26 to 28 day incubation I got everything I was waiting for... Well almost.. They left me wanting the two chicks looking at me on mom's back.... something to look forward to next year. once they go out on the lake I don't really go out after them. blue choppy water... not my thing really. Classic image!!!! _____________
