Found a brand new, just hatched brood of Little Grebes the other day down at the MDZ. They were uber cute and allowed me to lay on my belly and get real close without disturbing them. we reckoned on 35 territories around the trail this year with at least two or three broods per pair that is a bucket full of grebes! However, it would seem that the mortality rate is pretty higher or we would be treading over fluffy piles of giggling grebes by now!
