About

Thielke Lake is a well known home for nesting western grebes. Each spring the western grebes perform a mating display in which pairs rise up and run across the water. After chicks have hatched, they can be seen riding on the backs of their parents. Other birds in the area include great blue herons, black terns and ring-billed gulls.
