About These Birds
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.
Australasian Grebe
Australasian Grebe (Tachybaptus novaehollandiae) is a small 23–25 cm grebe of Australia, New Guinea, and many Pacific islands. Dark brown in breeding plumage with rich chestnut face sides and pale spot at base of bill. Inhabits freshwater lakes, ponds, reservoirs, and slow rivers. Very common across Australia.
