Starting Over

These Red-necked Grebes only have one egg in the nest after having had a full clutch in this nest before. I don't know where the eggs have been lost to predation or to simply rolling off the tilted nest surface. The foundation of the nest is an anchored tire placed for the grebes. This pair seems predisposed to add too much material to the nest leading to the tilt. This is one of two active nests in the Bronte Outer Harbour Marina in Oakville, Ontario.
