Mayhew 1949 July 10 Pied-billed Grebe Conaway Ranch, 2 miles east of Woodland, Yolo Co., Calif. Today I found a nest in some tall tules in the large permanent ditch that runs from the headquarters area past the dog kennels. It is in the N.E corner of section 7. The ♀ was on the nest when I first found it. There was one youngster sitting on the edge of the nest at this time. The ♀ remained on the nest all the time I was watching it. When I returned with Mr. T. J. Taylor about an hour later, the ♀ was now where in sight, but the nest contained 4 youngsters + 2 eggs. The nest was made of old tules that had been anchored to the new growth. It was about 10 feet from the north bank. The eggs were a light grayish-blue. The youngsters were less than 48 hours old, I'm quite sure. They were black with white stripes running the length of the body, head, + neck. The bill was light red with a white spot near the tip on each side, with a tiny black nail at the very tip. The legs + feet are black, with the feet lobed. These youngsters were able to swim & dive a little already, but they were quite small + not able to take care of themselves very well. July 12 When I returned to the nest today, I found 6 young grebes swimming about
