Observation details
Several chicks were spotted feeding at a distance. Later, an adult bird joined the chicks. Much later, the adult female also appeared and both adults (parents) were observed with 6 chicks. The adult birds engaged in mating briefly where the male mounted the female and held it completely submerged under the water until the act was over. Ca. 10-15 seconds. The male seemed protective of the chicks and demonstrated signs of being territorial. Audio clip of calls and photos!
