Re: GESO - Tending to the Little Ones
Yeah, they get eaten. What I've been told is that if the grebes get frightened off their nest by barking dogs or loud children at the shore (the nests are about 20 or 30 yards off shore) then the untended eggs will get eaten by gulls or other predators. The gulls don't frighten the grebes but they're constantly in the area to swoop in for opportunities. Thanks for the comment and thanks to all who looked and commented.
