   They will only cover the eggs if they leave willing - if disturbed
  </div>=20

   the will leave the eggs in the open. I have seen many nests be assured.

   Little wonder Naturens has so few posts.

         Sounds like typical Pied-billed Grebe territory David
        </div>=20

         They are secretive and will slip off the nest at the least provoca=
tion.

         You&#39;ll see the nest but not the bird!
