By Mia McPherson, on June 12th, 2012 Grebe chicks are showing up all over at Bear River Migratory Bird Refuge (aka Bear River National Wildlife Refuge) in northern Utah and they are just adorable to see and photograph. Western Grebe Family – Nikon D300, f7.1, 1/1600, ISO 400, +0.3 EV, Nikkor 200-400mm VR with 1.4x TC at 400mm, natural light I have been seeing Clark’s, Pied-billed and Western Grebes with chicks but I haven’t gotten any close images of the Pied-billed Grebes with their young so I am focusing on Western and Clark’s Grebe images for this post.

Young Western and Clark’s Grebes hitch rides on their parents backs, the image above shows a Western Grebe (Aechmophorus occidentalis) with three chicks of different sizes. The eggs of Western and Clark’s Grebes do not hatch all at the same time so there are often several days between the oldest and youngest chicks. The chick at the tail end of the adult was larger than the other two birds. Mia Additional posts you might enjoy: Nature's Connection. Cardinal Connections. Baby Great Grey. Grrrrrrowwwl.

BBC Nature - UK butterflies continue to decline. 1 June 2012Last updated at 02:45 By Victoria Gill BBC Nature The population of the once-common small tortoiseshell fell by 25% in three years The British butterfly population is continuing a marked downward trend. This is according to a national survey which revealed that numbers of the insects fell by more than 20% between 2010 and 2011. The results, announced by the charity Butterfly Conservation, appear to contrast with a recent study revealing a boom in numbers of rare UK species.

But while rare species may thrive in Britain's "pollinator hot spots", the more general outlook appears bleak. According to its co-ordinator, Dr Zoe Randle, the Wider Countryside Butterfly Survey (WCBS), gives a "scientifically robust" picture of the butterfly population throughout the country. "It's carried out in randomly-generated one-kilometre squares," she told BBC Nature. In July and August 2011, more than 500 volunteers counted butterflies on these patches of countryside.
