Spent all morning at the Oakville Bronte harbour enjoying the new hatchlings of the red necked grebes but after lunch 2 men and a boy decided that fishing near a nest was a great idea. To our horror the mom grebe decided to leave the nest to her man and was hooked by a lure. We contacted the Humane Society and they came within an hour but they weren't able to do anything. Then I phoned The Toronto Wildlife Centre who told me that not much can be done unless she can't swim or dive. Hope she will be ok.
