About These Birds
Hooded Grebe
Hooded Grebe (Podiceps gallardoi) is a medium 32–38 cm grebe endemic to the Patagonian plateau lakes of Argentina. Striking black and white head with pale reddish-orange crown and crest. Critically Endangered; population declined from ~3,000 to ~800 since the 1980s.
Atitlan Grebe
Atitlan Grebe (Podilymbus gigas) is an extinct large flightless grebe formerly endemic to Lake Atitlán, Guatemala. Similar to Pied-billed Grebe but larger, with heavier bill and flightless wings. Extirpated by the 1980s due to introduced bass predating chicks, reed-bed destruction, and hunting. Last confirmed individuals died in the early 1990s.
