Hello all, Sorry for the late post but last week Tuesday the 20th I was down with some friends in Brown County only a couple miles from the moorhen spot. I was able to see it after ten or fifteen minutes of waiting on the south pond maybe fifteen yards away. I saw only one of the adults as it hugged the cattails feeding. After a minute or so it swam back in the cattails. I again came back the 21st to see if I could see them again with the young. As my mom stopped the car I ran over to see all eight young and one of the adults scurry for the cattails from the center of the north pond. The young vanished in the weeds but the adult swam the cattail line an estimated thirty feet away calling to the other adult which I could hear back in the cattails. I got amazing views of the bird for an extensive amount of time. The bird happened to be a state bird for me, # 299. I went back one other time to see if I could get a photo which I didn't, but did again see the adult at around the same range and one of the young which darted into the cattails. Good birding to all.
