A bluegill guards her nest - called a redd. |
Spring time nesting is not just "for the birds"! The last week of May brings the pond's bluegills to the warmer water around the shore line, where they clean up a circle of pond bottom - around 18" in diameter - to lay their eggs. They stay on the nest, called a redd, guarding it for a few weeks.
