On May 13, 1916, I secured a set of eggs of the Western Grebe at Mystic Lake, Riverside County, California. The nest was in a thin clump of tules, close to the edge, and floating on water about two and a half feet deep. It resembled that of the Pied-billed Grebe in structure and appearance, but was at least twice the size. The eggs were three in number and far advanced in incubation. The parent bird was seen, and heard making a cackling noise like the croaking of a great toad.
